Another really good catch for my garden again on the 7th of July with two new moths for my garden and two very interesting species as well.
Batrachedra praeangusta I have recorded at other sites before, but Pseudopostega crepusculella was completely new for me. It's a tiny white moth that is believed to favour mint as it's foodplant, some of which is grown in our garden.
The moth was dissected just to be certain.
Garden species count for 2018 now upto 340.
Here are the new for year species.
