The moths numbers have been very low for the last two nights. There were 12 moths of 5 species on the 5th, although, I did a find what may be Dark-winged Quaker Moth (Eremobina claudens) on the house siding in the afternoon. This would be a new backyard species. I've asked for an ID confirmation. I've included pictures of 2 Large Yellow UnderWings (Noctua pronuba) that show a typical colour variation. This moth has been more common in my backyard this year. Unfortunately, I believed the weather forecast last night so did not put my light trap out. In the end I don't think it rained at all. There were 2 moths in the bait last night, a Briseis Underwing and a Fishia discors.
