There were 61 macro moths of 23 species in the light and bait traps last night. 2 species were new for the year, Two-spot Dart (Protolampra rufipectus) and Sharp-lined Yellow (Sicya macularia) and 1 was new for the backyard, Scallop Shell (Rheumaptera undulata). I have seen Scallop Shell in the UK but hadn't realised it was a North American species. Incidentally, other common names for Sicya macularia are Pink-bordered Yellow or Two-pronged Looper so you can take your pick :). I also recorded a rather large Pyralid, Large Tabby Moth (Aglossa pinguinalis).
