Isotrias and Grass Rivulet

Moth numbers have certainly picked up at Dingestow over recent nights, although catches are still in the range of 50-60 species rather than the 80+ I had in Carmarthenshire on Sunday night.  Highlights last night were Dingestow's second Grass Rivulet (a wanderer as Yellow Rattle doesn't grow here) and Dingestow's first Isotrias rectifasciana (a Tortricid added to the VC35 list near Caerwent last year).

 

Two aberrations were also of interest: the melanic form of Clouded-bordered Brindle is pretty frequent, but I don't think I've seen the 'full Y' form of Beautiful Golden-Y before.
