Yeah mostly the same here Paul! Strong breeze anything really below 10 deg is a waste of electricity & my time! Then the multiple street lamps front & back of my house make it challenging!

Getting more common in Warks probably more down to observer awareness! But I've only ever seen them 3 times (twice in Warks then multiple sightings in Suffolk)
Lesser Treble-bar (female) Nuneaton VC38 20/9/25 A better photo! Despite the weather being against us we still managed Swallow-tailed Moth (2nd Gen) Light Emerald,5 Lunar Underwing,1 Flounced Rustic,3 BT Moth & 10 LYU #TeamMoth
Yeah I got slightly damp trying to pot it!!
Yeah Sean (moth IDUK agrees with the ID aswell ) considering it was absolutely bucketing it down ๐ not sure how scarce they are in Warks I'm sure David Brown will let us know!
Yeah NFG both would have been but Lesser is a lifer for Donna ๐
I've got this tentatively ID as female Lesser Treble-bar caught last night in less than ideal conditions in my Nuneaton VC38 garden (20/9) Any thoughts?? #TeamMoth
