Near Huétor Tajar, Granada Province, Spain.

Moth Records.

Pale Shoulder (Acontia lucida).

Again I was using the 125MV trap, it was a warm night with the temperature not dropping below +20 and the sky was clear. There were a couple of new species for the year Cosmopolitan (Mythimna loreyi) and Pale Shoulder (Acontia lucida) and a couple of new moths for the garden list. 

Cosmopolitan (Mythimna loreyi).

Pine Processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) which is a moth that I have seen more as larva, forming there long nose to tail line and Eutelia adulatrix which is quite distinctive in the way that the wings and abdomen rest.
