Late September Garden Highlights......

I got well behind on all my records and who could be surprised? A prolonged heat wave at the end of September and into October is far from usual. As a result, counts were way over average and the new species just kept rolling in. The 200th micro for the year finally fell on 28th Spetember.

264 Bedellia somnulentella
A garden 1st 28th September. #200 for the year!

889a Mompha bradleyi
This landed on my PC screen while writing a blog entry! One of a few similar species; a Gen. Det. by D. Manning revealed it to be a 4th VC30 record. A garden 1st, 28th September

 1041 Acleris sparsana
A long awaited garden 1st, 28th September.

 Pink-barred Sallow
