Two nights, two new
A Double Lobed to MV at Dingestow Court on 27th July was new for the area, and I thought this was going to be star moth of the weekend. However, a mega Pine Hawkmoth was waiting for me in the trap after the night of 28th July. There is only one previous (unverified) Welsh record according to NBN: from Fishguard in Pembrokeshire in June 1982. There was a SW airflow on the night of 28th July 2019 and I suspect my Pine Hawkmoth came from continental Europe rather than England, although it's impossible to be sure.
