Summary

[edit]
Description

Yesterday was the warmest day so far this year, with temperatures hitting 25 degrees in some parts (I think we managed 24 something) So the barbeque was fired up and I managed to sit out in the garden and proceed to burn myself.

Of course the trap was set-up in anticipation for some more moths, I was thinking that the clearing skies should not make too much of a difference and although the temperature did duly drop to around 11 degrees with morning, a nice catch was observed nevertheless.

A splash of colour was given from 2 Light Emeralds and a stunning Green Silver-lines.

Mompha epilobiella was new for the garden but I had to look twice at it as my initial thoughts were Blastobasis!

First broods of Setaceous Hebrew Character and Small Square-spot were lovely and fresh, previous years I have only recorded these in August represented by their second broods.

Individuals may be a bit down for me, but species don't seem to be.

All in all a pleasing catch.


I will be out again tonight (last night) for a field trip.


Edit: A huge list last night that I must sort through, well over 100 species at one site alone!
