A duo of recent garden catches, as I slip behind a bit! Tiredness has kicked in lately, with so much going on and I also stupidly went out on a field trip last night locally (But was in before midnight) more on that soon.
Where do I start with the garden... it really does just keep on giving, despite it now being September i'm catching species that should be nearly over or finished.
Both last Friday and Satrday night weather around the same minimum temperature of around 12 degrees, jut about warm enough for some good moth activity. Saturday night saw an increase of species and numbers, with 150 of 52 species, as the wind had dropped away nicely.
Oddly two male Cacoecimorpha pronubana turned up on Saturday night, and on Tuesday just gone, two females turned up!
Macro highlight was the lovely chunky Webb's Wainscot, and micro highlight was Pyrausta despicata.
Below are the new species for the year.
Moth garden list stands at 119 species.
