Well, it rained all night. But that doesn't bother my No. 1 trap as it is situated under the overhanging roof of a Scandinvanian style wooden chalet or shed to the unpretentious. And I'm glad that I did, as two scarce (in my garden at least) green moths arrived to justify my decision to trap. The best moths of the night though were micros, with six new ones for the year.
Small Emerald
Only my third record.
Green Silver-lines
Not seen since 2010- third record.
871-- Oegoconia sp.
............probably carajai
1010 Red-barred Tortrix Ditula angustiorana
1205 Bud Moth Spilonota ocellana
1292 Calamotropha paludella
........seems to be missing most of it's palps. Second record.
1470 Euzophera pinguis
782 Bryotropha senectella?
I'm sure this is the correct ID. Very small, only 6mm. Palps with distinctive orange base.
