Garden Catch 15/07/18 - 3 more new micros for the garden!!

A warm and muggy night and a huge catch for the garden as a result.
10 species were new for the year, including 3 species never recorded here before and one i've never seen before anywhere.
Unfortunately the one I hadn't seen before the Ectoedemia louisella/sericopeza I may have mis-laid to get dissected, so i'll have to leave the record as one of the two.

Another record of Caloptilia rufipennella was nice, not a common moth here, but two this year already. 

Garden species count for 2018 now upto 377.

Here are the new for year species.
