More moths

Putting the light trap out earlier this year attracts some new species.

Small Elephant Hawkmoth, feeds on Bedstraw - plenty in the area, with Lady's Bedstraw in my meadow.
 Treble Lines, feeds on Plantain - no shortage of that.
 A Kitten Moth - Sallow or Poplar?
 Wainscot - Common, Southern or Mathew's? All grass feeders.
No mistaking the White Ermine.
