A really exciting find on the wall behind the trap on Thursday evening, with a new moth for my garden and Cambridgeshire, the Pyralid Uresiphita gilvata!!
There have been quite a few sightings on the south coast, with a few inland records too, but not this far inland yet?
Unbelieveable and this came a day after Palpita vitrealis turned up in the village also, totally blown away and the best moth in my garden all year.
Things were beginning to go a little bit crazy, but not in my garden sadly.
Notables listed below for the past two nights.
