My Skinner actinic attracted 72 moths of 13 species last night, a big surprise because it was a cold, clear night (slight frost this morning) and I wasn't expecting much. Multiples of Dotted Border, Oak Beauty, Small and Common Quakers, Clouded Drab and Hebrew Character. This one confused me at first:
I think that it might have started out as a Clouded Drab then decided that it preferred to be a Twin-spot Quaker. From memory, all the TSQs I've caught here have had a pale yellow/brown background colour and haven't been as well-marked as this one. But I haven't checked photos from previous years.
