Summary

[edit]
Description

Well the onslaught of the usual suspects is still going strong, but the amount of species turning up to the trap has really ground to a halt.

I have just listed extras that I got on this night, that did not feature in the previous nights catch, as time is of a premium lately.

Rusty Dot Pearl was new for the garden albeit extremely washed out, and heralds probably the end of migrant activity for now, as we are expecting the wind to swing around from the north.

Another possibly good record would be the micro, Gelechia nigra. It is a scarce moth nationwide and there is only one confirmed record from Hertfordshire in 1890! Labeled as extinct at present.

Unfortunately needs must and the moth has been pinned ready for genitalia dissection, see what you think, I hope I am right.

Another good one for the garden was the Tortrix, Cochylis molliculana. This species is certainly spreading northwards, having first seen it on the coast a few years back, then last year on my parents farm South-east of here.
