Some rather late species including a garden first tiddler

Like a few others, last week I recorded my latest ever Scarce Silver-lines to my trap on Wednesday night, a tiny but pristine specimen.

 

There were 5 nights previous to this date where I didn't bother trapping at all, it's also been abyssmal since as well, with recent nights very close to freezing, most odd for this time of year.

 

The new garden moth was a very welcome Agonopterix propinquella, I get subpropinquella regularly here, the slightly larger cousin to this species.

 

A rather tatty Red Underwing was new for the year and my latest Assara terebrella was certainly worth noting down.

 

Clancy's Rustic keep on coming here, with a further two, some real fresh ones too. 

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 641 species
