Summary

[edit]
Description

A new species of Macro Moth for the garden! On Monday night temperatures were starting to slowly improve and so the trap has been out most nights but i've had little time to write about it with my newborn taking up most (if not all) of my time! I was therefore pleased to find two examples of Frosted Green on my projector screen that is positioned behind my trap. I still am missing the 'commoner' Yellow Horned. But I don't have much Birch around here and what there is on the opposite side of my nearest wood a 1/4 of a mile away. Frosted Green is associated with Oaks and luckily I have serveral along the bridleway that runs along the bottom of my garden. But why I haven't recorded it in the previous 5 Springs of trapping here is a mystery? My theory is from what other's have been posting, it's having a bumper year and I got lucky in attracting not one but two to my trap.

The rest of the catch was made up of the usual Springtime species and included a Brindled Pug as new for year.
