Well here goes, for better or worse, another year of moths. The old thread is here https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/196070/mostly-moths-2018/1221500#1221500
To start us off a couple of silly ones that came to greet the first trap of the year on the night of the 1st to 2nd january. It was around 6-7°C all night & frosts ever since so I gave it a go.

& White Speck
Nothing earth-shattering, but a start!

Yes to question Alan, & good to see your photos, you seem to spot a lot when you're out & about.
Here's one I don"t see often from a recent trap "Perizoma lugdunaria"
It's not a UK one, but is a type of Carpet.
Reasonably large and looking in the window at me on June 21st. Not sure of type though?
