Garden Catch 11/07/18 - Kent comes to Stevenage

A really odd night with not much to sift through and made even weirder by a slightly unexpected garden first Kent Black Arches and a rather early Agonopterix alstromeriana, a moth that usually flies from August and over-winters flying until around April.
Indeed my previous 12 years of records, all follow this consistent pattern, until last night when a fresh individual was potted up from the garden trap, a month early or therabouts.

The third interesting moth was a garden second record of Dark Umber

Garden species count for 2018 now upto 358.

Here are the new for year species.
