There were well over 300 (perhaps as many as 400) moths in the MV trap at Cwmllwyd this morning 25 July 2019. I gave up counting common macros after a while and also ignored several dozen grass moths and other micros as other commitments during the day were essential. There were, nevertheless, some interesting counts: 36 Elephant Hawk-moths and 64 Large Yellow Underwings, for example.
There were some goodies, too, including these visitors from the mountain:
Northern Rustic
Narrow-winged Pug
The lowlands were represented by:
Small Rufous
Acrobasis advenella
With just this one from overseas:
Dark Sword-grass
Well done Steve regarding your upland visitors - nice records.
