A Chestnut.
(Was tempted to put my trap out tonight, but haven't - a Winter Moth came to the porch a few mins ago, though.) |

Not many, but there are still winter species that I haven't seen here - such as December Moth and I'd like to see that. |

If you want to catch December Moths, try a mild night, and set the trap near some mature trees, woodland etc. You will also attract Mottled Umber, although they seldom seem to go into the trap! | | |
