Yellow Horned

I usually have a quick look round the trap before I go to bed to see if I can see any moths on the outside of the trap or nearby.  I did that last night and found 4 moths, of which 3 were new for the year.  One of those was also new for the house: Yellow Horned - only my second ever.

The other two were Common Plume Emmelina monodactyla and Satellite.

After that promising evening I was disappointed to find a fairly mediocre selection in the trap come the morning.  The rest of the catch consisted of Common Flat-body Agonopterix heracliana, Dotted Border, Common Quaker and 3 Hebrew Characters.
