Garden List 19/07.......

These days it's not that often that I get 2 brand new garden macro moths in a night. But despite the fact it was well below average for the time of year temperature wise, that's what happened. I also recorded a new micro as well.

Scalloped Hook-tip

These are apparently quite common- except in my garden.

 July Highflyer

Last year I caught 3 May Highflyers and no Julys. This year seems to be the other way round.

 888 Mompha propinquella

A garden 1st for this striking micro.
