It was a clear night, but in view of the excellent catches going on up and down the country at the moment, I thought I would give it a go. I only got the five species, but I got a surprisingly high 32 moths. I am determined to get a Dark Chestnut one of these days, and I have had many promising looking candidates before, that turn out to be Chestnut. What about this one (it looked much darker in real life)?

Dark Chestnut?
Chestnut for me, Sean. Getting a bit late in the year for Dark Chestnut, and the outer-forewing edge looks too curved for Dark.
