Back on track with my first field trip since moving home.
Completely overwhelmed by stinging things in the form of 60+ Wasps and 12 Hornets, so I had to abandon the trap in the end, but only after identifying some interesting species, notably a new species for me, 3 Small Rufous.
Also around the trap were 5 Tree-lichen Beauties! they surely must be breeding within the woodland, a good local species that was very rare only a few years ago.
Of note was the amount of Black Arches & September Thorn, 37 and 29 examples respectively.
Anacampsis blattariella was also a new Micro Moth for me.
Still have 3 micro's to id if anyone can help.
Edit, now id'd, two new species added to site!
