Here's a few moths from my homemade trap from the last few weeks, I'm getting to grips with identifying them all and have realised I'm out of my depth! Luckily I could identify 3 of these without help, only the willow beauty caused me difficulty. They are - large yellow underwing, willow beauty, brimstone and small magpie . Large yellow underwing are pretty common, I usually get a couple each night. Willow beauty are common too, I had 2 in the trap this morning. Brimstone and small magpie are firsts for me. I also had my first live magpie in Clare last week, hiding in the toilets in the campsite I was staying in! Had only spotted one before, a dead one I found while cleaning the windows in my parents house in north Dublin...
