As the mild winter continues, unusual early records are continuing to turn up.
I recorded this V Pug last night. This moth is totally out of season the previous earliest record for the whole of north Wales is 21st March.
We've already had quite a few 'out of season' species recorded this winter, these include Pale Brindled Beauty, Dark Arches, Clouded Drab and Spring Usher, I wonder what will turn up next?
It's always worth having a trap on mild winter nights, as the records above prove, go on, give it a try!!

Well I'm having no luck with winter trapping; in the last month I've only seen: Early Moth, Winter Moth and Mottled Umber.
