Another Sulphur Tubic

I thought last Sunday night might prove even better than Saturday as the conditions felt good.  It wasn't, but it wasn't far behind.  I'd already bagged a Sulphur Tubic Esperia sulphurella flying around the garden in the afternoon, my second here this year and third anywhere ever.

After Sunday the weather worsened and this week has been poorer, though not without interest.  Monday night didn't add any new moths for the year, but produced Foxglove Pug, Flame Carpet, Silver-ground Carpet, 2 Common Pugs, 3 Muslin Moths, Shuttle-shaped Dart, Flame Shoulder, 2 Hebrew Characters and Nut-tree Tussock.
