[1344] Eudonia mercurella

A great night again, and thus I have not had the time to count all of the moths. Far far more than the previous night with

a minimum temperature of 16c and no wind it was perfect.

 

Clears skies does not seem to be having an impact at the moment, with the high temperatures that

 

are persisting.

I have just listed the moths that were new ones for the garden and year.

Some superb species including Varied Coronet, Leopard Moth, Rustic, Light Arches, Beautiful Hook-tip and another Red-necked Footman, presumed a migrant as they are not a resident moth here in Hertfordshire.

I'll let the list and the photos do the talking as I am shattered (and I am out again tonight!)

 

 

17 new species for the garden (12 Macro - 5 Micro)

5 new species for the year (2 Macro - 3 Micro)

 

 

 

122 Macros and 69 Micros bringing the grand total upto 191 moth species for the year so far.
