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.
