Moth list 16 July 2015

On the night of Thursday 16 July 2015 I had a remarkable catch of over 600 individual moths. This is the full list from that evening. It only lists those moths that were identified to species (or aggregate) level - 600 moths of 128 species (including 4 species aggregates). It does not include moths that were too worn to be identified with confidence, or any of the small number of Coleophora that were in the trap. Several unidentified moths also escaped during the processing of the catch.
