[1380] Anania perlucidalis

The garden keeps on surprising me

Last Friday I ran the trap again after doing very well on Wednesday night.

The day had been warm and muggy and very little change as we continue to experience settled warm weather touching the low 30's.

Well upon looking out of the window at 5am on Saturday morning, things looked rather promising indeed.

There were moths absolutely everywhere! And I recorded the most moths that i've recorded so far this year with 91 species in total.

 

Only my second garden record of Prays fraxinella (last seen in 2013!) despite a small Ash tree in the garden and some mature specimens in the surrounding area....mothing again never fails to surprise me.

Red-necked Footman is now an annual moth for me which is pleasing.

 

Marbled White Spot was a new moth for my garden, a relatively common moth in Hertfordshire but i've struggled to add it to the garden list taking 5 whole years!

The 2nd new for the garden moth was a micro, Anania perlucidalis...a moth that I use to record regularly in damp habitats typically.

 

A beautiful Pammene aurana was only my second garden record with my last one being in 2013.

 

And finally a Leopard Moth returned again after a 4 year gap.
