Moths: Toadflax Brocade

A nice and welcomed visitor to the Synergetic trap over the weekend was a Toadflax Brocade.

Once a rare moth restricted to Dunge it is now rapidly expanding, its now in Essex and i get a few records a year at the moment however you only have to go a little further north in the County and there not to be found yet but other parts of the country are slowly being colonized.

Only two years ago, the first for Wales was trapped by Mel Oxford.
