Dotted Chestnut






Decided to run the moth trap on the spur of the moment last night and, despite the drop in temperature, I was glad I did, since this morning I had a new moth for the garden in the form of Dotted Chestnut.  The picture on the left was taken in warm morning light.  Dotted Chestnut is listed in Waring with a status of nationally scarce b.  Also in the trap was a solitary Early Grey (pictured below) and a couple of Common Quaker.
