Early UK moths

[Nick Greatorex-Davies]

The mild spring is again bringing things out rather earlier than would
be expected. Last night I was a little surprised to see: Brimstone
Moth (Opisthograptis luteolata), Swallow Prominent (Pheosia tremula),
Muslin Moth (Diaphora mendica) and Mullein Moth (Cucullia verbasci)
along with other more usual species for the time of year in my garden
MV in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, UK.
