A cooler day after the blazing hot Friday, with highs of 22 degrees and a brisk wind, it felt less oppressive.
The night still remained warm enough for plentiful moth activity, but much less species were obsevered, in fact less than half!
As a result there were less new ones, but being the middle of June, every night should yield at least a couple of new species, and indeed last Saturday night did.
Two early Underwing species showed up, the first darker form of Box-moth appeared and a tiny Pug was of course a year first Haworth's.
Micros were sparse, I think it was the wind. Therefore I could only muster a Wax Moth (Galleria mellonella) & the ghostly white Pterophorus pentadactyla.
Only new species listed below.
