Unusually late Dotted Clay

A Dotted Clay was caught in my moth trap, in my Hereford garden, on Sunday September 22nd and I decided to get a second opinion of it because of its lateness. Both Peter Hall and Martin Townsend confirmed the record. Apparently there are about 150 records in the Herefordshire database and of those, all but 2 are from July and August. There is one dated September 5th 1998 by John Dodd from Bringsty Common and another from Mike Harper at his home dated September 7th 1972. So this is the latest record by some distance. Robbie Ledlie
