A rarity for me this is only the second time I have taken it in Darley Dale.

| Lime-speck Pug |
White thoracic crest rules out all bar White-spotted and Golden-rod at this time of the year, rather pointed wings and lack of tornal spot rule out the latter.
 |
| Larch Pug |
Slightly worn but showing white spotting around the fore-wing edge and on the hind wing, white thoracic crest and white spots either side of the thorax.

| White-spotted Pug |

| Crambus lathoniellus |
Added Dark Brocade and Ling Pug, two moorland species last night plus Eyed Hawk-moth and Silver-ground Carpet taking the macro total over 100. Also; Foxglove Pug, Common Pug 2, Mottled Pug, Clouded Silver, Common Marbled Carpet, Scalloped Hazel, Heart and Dart 2, Flame Shoulder and Spectacle so a much better catch than recent days with the temperature above 11 Centigrade through out the night.

Numbers of moths remain low in the cooler temperatures, down to 6 Centigrade last night, but added Common Marbled Carpet. Also problem with the Blog loosing a couple of night's info but reinstated the Light Feathered Rustic from Tuesday.

A rather worn Freyer's Pug, I'll add a fresh specimen in due course.
