The best night of the year for migrant moths. I get home at 1 AM to find the consumer unit has tripped and the downstairs circuit is out including the outdoor socket. Bummer! #UKmoths

@theveryamateur1 Hi Nick, common moth here. My garden (Upper Beeding) backs on to chalk grassland and BF Trefoil is here. I haven't had any for a while until 2 last night, also a bit worn so maybe migrants? ๐
