Night of 30th October: 5 Udea ferrugalis and 3 Plutella xylostella. Red admiral butterfly also in the trap.

Night of 30 October: 1 Golden Twin-spot (John Foster)

Caught 1x Cydalima perspectalis in very good condition on the night of the 29th October, identified by an insect group on facebook as I was unable to find any reference to it! Also 26 other species, 93 moths in total.

My overnight MV had 2 Rusty-dot Pearls which I would like to think were migrants, along with a Dingy Footman, which is presumably a rather unusual second brood. Today, the 31st, a good sequence of butterfly records for Cambs in late October: between us David Hopkins and I have had so far Painted Lady and Red Admiral heading south and at least 2 Clouded Yellows, along with the more usual Peacocks, Small Tortoiseshells and Brimstones.

Night of 30 October: An undistinguished catch including 5 Diamond-back Moth, 59 Rusty-dot Pearl, 1 Palpita vitrealis, 1 Rush Veneer, 4 Dark Sword-grass, 1 Pearly Underwing, 1 Scarce Bordered Straw and 3 Silver Y.

30th: Single Palpita vitrealis

Night of 30th October:
