Bringsty Common update

I ran a Robinson trap here in the garden on the 23rd and caught the usual batch of moths plus a single female Lead-coloured Drab. This is the first record for me of this species here and then on the 25th, I caught my second one, this time a male. Spurred on by Penny's Scarlet Tiger larval records I gave my comfrey a better search and despite it being quite a small amount of comfrey, counted 111 larvae on it, mostly basking in the sunshine.
