..since I tend to look for moths, rather than trap them, Hebrew Character is quite a novelty here..with none found in 2024..this one is doubly welcome, as it makes it onto The Office Window Moth List..West Yorkshire, VC63.

A good find this morning with my 1 st roosting March Moth for two years.. none found in 2024, but good counts in 2023, which gave a flight period of 12th Feb to 6th April..West Yorkshire, VC63.
