Description

Moths galore!

Well things have all of a sudden picked up here in my garden with a huge selection of species and after a high of 27c the night was clear, but boy did it stay warm at a minimum of 15c even under clear skies, the moths were everywhere this morning and no doubt I missed a few. I don't normally run the trap at the weekend, but after going for a walk for more food for our caterpillars and seeing so much flying about, I am glad I did!

Best Macro moths for me were garden first's of Red-necked Footman and Lobster Moth. Also both Toadflax and Foxglove Pug in one night was a surprise, another two new ones for the garden, all in all 24 were new for the garden and were 4 new for the year.

2 examples of the tiny little Ectoedemia decentella and a single Argyresthia retinella were both new moths for me, well chuffed!

Interestingly the only species of Hawk-moth I have had in my garden since last August has been the Poplar Hawk-moth, where at my last house I recorded Lime, Eyed, Poplar, Privet, Elephant and Pine on an annual basis.

213 moths of 87 species total (51 Macro - 36 Micro)
