Single-dotted Wave
A brief post from the garden moth trap
A distinct lack of new for year species on Monday night, but still a big catch for here.
There were two new for year macros, and two others that had already been recorded but were worthy of photographing, a jet black, but a bit tatty Peppered Moth, a colour form I see very often.
The other moth was an aberrant Vine's Rustic.
One Coleophora is still to be checked
The only other new one was a Hedya salicella, unfortunately it took flight before I got a pot on it! Luckily I photographed a much better specimen from last weeks field trip.
Garden species count for 2019 now upto 307.
