White-speck Macro Moth New for Fareham Garden

I first operated a moth trap in my Fareham back garden in September 2009, and I have operated it whenever I’ve been at home during suitable weather. Every year my garden list has grown, and 2024 has proved to be a particularly good year now fifteen years on, with nine additional macro species to date. The last, earlier in the month was White-speck that I almost discarded as a Clay.
