A few catch results from the start of last week, i'm considering hiring a PA soon at this rate!
The weather remains settled and temperatures are starting to increase during the day, night-time the minmums are ranging between 13 and 15 degrees, apart from last night (15th) which was actually a little on the chilly side and I recorded just under 11 degrees, needless to say I gave the moths a rest.
Best moth was on the 12th, a garden first Round-winged Muslin.
Backed up by two garden rarities, Duponchelia fovealis (my 2nd) and Epagoge grotiana (my 3rd)
Also a very odd thing happened for the first time this year, I didn't record a first brood Early Thorn, but luckily there was a 2nd brood example sitting in the trap on the 11th.
Rhyacionia buoliana I haen't seen since 2014.
The POM lure did the business and lured a single Cydia pomonella one evening also.
Only new for year species listed below.
Moth species for 2021 in the garden now stands at 295.
