Disguised as a bird dropping

The mild still nights on Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th April were perfect for these mid-spring moths.  The catches were good with 40/16 on the Tuesday night and 86/18 on the Wednesday night.  The Chinese character is a marvellous moth and is very easily overlooked as it is small and very much resembles a bird dropping.

Other NFY species included the Swallow prominent, the Nut-tree tussock and the Mullein.
