(2154) Cabbage Moth (Mamestra brassicae) (35907946903)

Description:

Description: Two recent catches from my back garden Back from holiday and still processing how good France was, the reality kicked in on Saturday night when I ran my trap for the first time since the start of August. Saturday night was cool and clear and not particularly good but last night was much better, warmer but unfortunately wetter with some good species for the garden such as Rosy Rustic and Ypsolopha alpella, the former I haven't seen for 3 years. Numbers were very pleasing indeed all round. A Silver-Y, Turnip Moth and White-point represented the only probable migrants (but possibly wanderer's).
