Description: A Spectacle and two moths out of their comfort zone Old big sunglasses turned up last night in pristine condition, I love Spectacles and it is up there as one of my favourite looking moths. The two moths out of their comfort zone were of course both species of probably the commonest of the House Moths, Endrosis sarcitella and Hofmannophila pseudospretella both new for year as well. Six new for year moths were most welcome on a clear but warm night with temperatures not dipping below 12 degrees. Today has been warm again way past 24 degrees but breezy, will it be worth running the trap again? I think so. Good luck all.
