I racked up quite a list just tapping trees and vegetation, it was a very warm day hitting 26 degrees and Butterflies were in profusion.
Best moth for me was a new species to my records, a Caloptilia falconipennella which was kindly dissected by Graeme Smith to confirm.
Also another new moth was also encountered, a single Phyllocnistis unipunctella beaten from Poplar
which i'm surprised I saw against my white net it was so small!
Here is the list.
