Another pretty darn good catch here in my garden last Sunday night, certain specis continued to increase (Footman, Yponomeuta & Least Carpet by the bucket load).
Amongst the duplicates, were some really cracking good moths!
Goat Moth was of course the main star, a big fat female perched on the edge of the garden table was a sight to behold.
I've recorded these at both the nearby fens, but it's always good to add these species to the garden list.
Other good macros included Rosy Minor and Drinker.
The micro moths were again outstanding, with species such as Agonopterix subpropinquella, Coleophora mayrella and Cosmopterix lienigiella all new for the garden.
Things are really hotting up and i'm hoping we can all tap into some migrants over the coming nights (Which have been virtually non-existent in my garden so far this year).
Below are the new species for the year/garden and others I photographed.
Moth garden list for 2022 stands at 503 species
