 diamondback moth - Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus)
The moths are weak fliers, usually flying within 2 m of the ground, and not flying long distances.
Mustard, turnip, and kohlrabi are among the more resistant crucifers, but resistance is not as pronounced as it is for imported cabbageworm and cabbage looper.

 Arizona Research Laboratories Division of Neurobiology
In his lab my research was focused on the neural basis of pheromonal communication in male Agrotis segetum, the turnip moth.
One of the major experiments I have conducted is to use dual-intracellular recording and staining methods to study the coherence of PN firing.
The goal is to understand how the moth brain can cope with the unlimited environmental odor space and help the animal to make a right behavioral decision.

Apart from the usual stuff, firsts of the year were Uncertain 4 (yes, that really is the name of a moth), a single Snout and tucked away in the last egg box was my first ever Blackneck (a very scarce species in South Yorkshire), this one takes my macro moth life list to 295.
Think i`ve said this before, but moth traps don`t only attract moths, a wide variety of insects can be expected when using this method, like this Grasshopper, never had one of these in the trap before, so it was quite a surprise ;
Gave the moths a night off last night, but tonight i`ll be hoping to add to my year list & fingers crossed my life list.

Among 171 moths of 64 species the traps attracted another couple of migrants on Friday night with Diamond-back and a Dark Sword-grass (only the second one for the garden).
The picture is not very clear as the moth dashes around the lure without settling.

 Cutworm
The adult moths fly from late May to early July, laying eggs on plants or on pieces of litter and debris in the soil.
Adult moths have a wingspan of around 40mm, with the forewings being whitish-brown and carrying brownish-fl or fl-edged markings.
Adult moths are trapped in late May and early June and temperature and rainfall data is then used to forecast egg development and Cutworm survival.

Pics a little on small side, but I think the first could be Turnip Moth and the 2nd is possibly Dusky Brocade.
If the first moth has a fl collar behind the head it is a Heart and Dart, if not it's something else.
There is a number of aspects of this moth which make me think it is not a Heart and Dart.

Last time I said I thought something looked like a Turnip it was a Dark Sword-grass but this really does looks like a Turnip (Agrotis segetum).
Looks like a Turnip to me also - presumably an immigrant, given the time of year.
I would agree with Chris, A turnip Moth.

 Agrotis segetum (Denis & Schiffermüller)
- The turnip moth hibernates as a caterpillar at different instars depending on the regions; development resumes in March-April.
The caterpillars develop from August to the end of October and hibernate at various instars; some produce a partial third larval generation in October-November.
The caterpillars are extremely voracious (*) ; however serious infestations are rare and remain generally below those of the dark sword grass moth (Agrotis ipsilon).

Flight Period: Double brooded from May to July and again in the autumn.
Observations: Although second brood moths are seen annually nowadays it appears likely that the moth was single brooded in some well recorded earlier years.
An example of this is in the 1950’s, when in the five years to 1955 second brood moths were only seen in the years 1952 and 1955.

Data from the stations is used in forecasting models that seek to provide early warning of conditions such as apple scab, potato late blight, cabbage moth, cereal diseases and turnip moth.
The stations measure air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, leaf wetness, and global radiation.
