Highlights from RSPB Newport Wetlands moth reveals 10th June and 17th June

 Overnight 10th June 2022, not the best haul due to the excessive wind overnight  but still 32 species in the trap  the main highlight being an L-album Wainscot and the first Lesser Yellow Underwing.

The following week on the night of 17th June the conditions appeared perfect and I was not disappointed with the trap full of moths, a total of 473 miths of 88 species but the only migrant being a Rush Veneer. Highlights included 62 Obscure Wainscots, 2 Blacknecks, Lunar-spotted Pinion, Figure of Eighty, and Cream-bordered Green Pea and Bordered Beauty.
