An autumn Juniper Carpet

Having posted a couple of unseasonal Juniper Carpet photos taken in July this is one from last night.

Another Juniper Carpet!

I think one could be an abberation but two within a week suggests that these really are Juniper Carpet so it's back on the year list. Also caught the micros Ypsolopha dentella and Acleris forsskaleana.
Harry Beaumont has confirmed the identification of the first Juniper Carpet on 16th July, so this is very strange behaviour.

Autumn weather - Juniper Carpet?

It's usually towards the end of the season when I catch Juniper Carpet, in September and October, so I was surprised to see this individual on the window this morning. Difficult to explain why a moth which should just be hatching from an over-wintered egg should be flying now? 
I have given it to Brian Statham to check, he did say it could be a small Pine Carpet but we'll wait and see.
Also added Carcina quercana but trap numbers were otherwise low following another cool evening.
