Another multi-catch report
Little time to write much, but did managed to get the trap out last Wednesday and Thursday night as it was nice and mild but a tad windy with on and off showers both nights.
The result wasn't many moths at all, but Large Wainscot was new for the garden and lovely to see, a probable migrant/wanderer as the habitat around here is no where near suitable.
It is my 401st species of Moth for the garden since August 2012.
3 Sprawlers over the two nights was also a bonus and another Caloptilia semifascia to boot.
Barred Sallow still hanging on with one individual on the 30th of October.
I am a little concerned about Merveille du jour, last year I got just two on the 22nd of October. I initially thought I had more than that, but the records don't lie!
Other moths that might not get a garden look in this year are...
Brick 2012 (7) 2013 (0)
Black Rustic 2012 (2) 2013 (0)
Both of which made appearances last year as can be seen above.
Next week could be changeable so I will see when it is best to put the trap out.

Hawk and Dove
By Dr. Jon Suter
I prefer to wait for a mini-series to finish its run before I write anything, but the new version of DC Comics’ “Hawk and Dove” compel me to call it to your attention.
The first two issues of the intended five are worth your time.
The first “Hawk and Dove” team, Hank and Don Hall, appeared in the late 1960s when those words carried heavy political baggage. Creator Steve Ditko’s version never achieved wide popularity, even in that politicized era, but the warring brothers surfaced several times in DC titles.
The age of the characters seemed to fluctuate. Finally, Dove died in the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” series.
The title was revived in 1988, and a new Dove appeared, a female who Hawk finally murdered in his Monarch persona.
Now a third team has appeared with a radical reversal of roles; a female Hawk.
The first team versions received their powers from other dimensions, but the new heroes are the results of genetic tampering, and the “Godwave” that swept the DC universe in the recent “Genesis” plotline.
There is enough paranoia in this series to satisfy most “X-Files” enthusiasts.
The primary villain is Avian, which may foreshadow a heavy emphasis on bird motifs.
The characters are well defined and interesting, for which writer Mike Baron deserves full credit.
The new Dove is an abrasive grunge rocker, but his powers are more destructive than those of his predecessors. His sonic scream is similar to that of another superhero, Black Canary.
Dean Zachary’s art is appropriate. Dick Giordono’s inking is good and reminds me how much he has contributed to comics in his long career.
Give this series serious consideration. A full series cannot be far behind.
Those interested in the second “Hawk and Dove” team can acquire a 1993 reprint from DC of the five issues that reintroduced them.
Barbara and Karl Kesel’s scripts hold up as does Rob Liefield’s art.
The eventual grim fate of the characters gives their origin a new piquancy.
