............23/04

I had a quick sweep around Broom Gps during the day with Louie. Looking mainly for micros, but found this instead.

Common Carpet
This was new for the site, though that isn't that hard as I'm the only person recording!

Back in the garden it looked promising. All in all though, not that good. I did pick up 1 new micro though.

 Platyedra subcinerea 808
This was a bit of a puzzle- I thought it was a Depressaria sp. but not so. Quite small at only 9mm long and a 1st confirmed for the garden after a typically unidentifiable photo I took last year!

The result 30 of 18 species- 
  • Shuttle-shaped dart- 7
  • Brimstone Moth- 3
  • Common Quaker- 3
  • Brindled Pug- 3
  • Argyrotaenia ljungiana- 2
  • Epiblema costipunctana - 1
  • Platyedra subcinerea- 1- 1st Ever
  • Waved Umber- 1
  • Garden Carpet- 1
  • Red Twin-spot Carpet- 1
  • Double-striped Pug- 1
  • Oak-tree Pug- 1
  • Muslin Moth- 1
  • White-shouldered House-moth- 1
  • Hebrew Character- 1
  • Powdered Quaker- 1
  • Coxcomb Prominent- 1
  • Lime Hawk-moth- 1
