[2321] Dark Arches (Apamea monoglypha)

A nice boost in numbers

Last Thursday was a warm day, and I have scheduled to go out on a field trip, but furing the day at work I felt worse and worse and by the evening I was extremely dizzy and sick so I had to cancel.

 

Of course, I was just well enough to line a round tub with egg trays and flick a switch!

 

The result for staggering down the stairs at 5:30am was quite pleasing through dizzy and bleary eyes.

 

It was a warmish night with lows of 13c but with a clear sky.

 

9 species were added to the garden list, all expected ones.

 

Phyllonorycter leucographella, was probably the most notable moth for my garden with only 3 previous records and last seen 4 years ago, this was an odd one with conjoining white bands.

 

Garden species count for 2019 now upto 139.
