Hello Moth-ers,

June is now with us and I’m sure we’ll all hope that with the new month our mothing fortunes will change and we’ll actually record some moths.

Please remember you can join in with this challenge whenever you like, so just let me know here, what you've recorded and I’ll add the details to the main table. This month I have decided to add two fairly common species so that we can kick the challenge into action again.

The target species added in June (please let me know if you’ve already have recorded one) are: -

11) Shaded broad-bar (1 point)

10) Yellow Shell (1 point)

The target species added in previous months (which all still count in the challenge) are; -

9) Yellow-barred Brindle (1 point)

8) Tawny Pinion (2 Points)

7) Any migrant hawk moth – this might seem rather unlikely, but it does of course include the Humming-bird Hawk-moth, so everyone will have a chance to record one of these (3 points)

6) White-marked (1 point)

5) Pine Beauty (2 points)

4) Oak Nycteoline (1 point)

3) Blossom Underwing (2 points)

2) Shoulder Stripe (1 point)

1) Small Brindled Beauty (2 points)
