Another night and another load of good species, was very nice to see a Rosy Footman, completely out of habitat so I can only assume that it is a migrant, along with all the recent migrant activity we have been having.
Mompha propinguella is a moth I have only seen a few times before, what a stunner!Catch Report -19-08-12 -Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson Trap
