Mild night produced 14 #moths of 5 species. Still the usual quakers and drabs, but had a mint Hebrew Character, and probably my very earliest Bright-line Brown-eye - not the prettiest of moths, but this is particularly early in the year to be seeing them. Another few weeks and numbers/diversity will pick up and species will change.

Overhead shot of a 1cm moth on a finger. It is grey-brown with hints of blue-purple and some gold. It has a diamond shaped furry top to its head. The wings have mirrored stigmata. A narrow black vertical rectangle angling slightly inwards mirror each other in the centre of the moth. Outside of this is what resembles a black block letter L, again mirroring each other left and right. The inner edge of the L is slightly concave, so that it resembles the hebrew letter nun.
Overhead shot of a scrubby looking arrowhead shaped moth. It is plain brown with pentagonal shaped furry head. Main markings are a white line near the bottom running left wing edge to right wing edge, rising to a small peak in the middle. And in the middle of the wings, left and right are mirroring stigmata, a white ovoid shape above a slightly brighter brick-red-brown reniform kidney or eye shape.
