100 up.

94 moths of 41 species with 14 FFYs were tempted to visit the MV trap in the alder grove at Cwmllwyd last night (Sunday 21 May), bringing the total identified so far this year to 101 species. Not a great quantity, I think; held back by cold nights and inclement weather for most of the spring, along with the ineptitude of the observer.

Among the larger moths last night were Pale Tussock, Clouded Silver, May Highflyer, Purple Bar, Least Black Arches, Marbled White-spot, Scorched Wing and this;

 Clouded-bordered Brindle f. combusta.

Unfortunately, several micros were also found, so there are quite likely to be a number of errors in the captions below (as well as poor quality photos): if anyone would care to correct these, it would be much appreciated.
