Catch report - 06/07/21 - Back garden

Another good catch last Tuesday night with a decent return of new moths for the year and 42 species.
 
All expected species, but i'm a sucker for even a common moth, when it's fresh. Both of the Acrobasis were really smart, and as for the Lesser Yellow Underwing (with only slight wear on the termen) wow, in scale-perfect condition!

Lots still to edit for recent catches & field trips. This year has been all or nothing, we are currently rapidly drifting into the 'all' as things go a bit mad species wise (Though numbers are still at a record low).

Only new for year species listed below.

Moth species for 2021 in the garden now stands at 260.
