Summary

Description

Garden Catch 23/07/18 - A night of quality Another lovely catch under warm and calm conditions, the trap was heaving by my garden standards.

Highlights were...

Brown-line Bright-eye is never common here, this being my fourth record in 6 years, new for year and subsequently the only record for 2018...and it could have been a better specimen, by jove!

A second Oak Processionary (after the first last year) was recorded also. A pest species that seems to have it's stronghold around the big parks in the Boroughs of London. Now seen spreading North-wards and fanning out, in fact my second was at Ashwell at the end of July and represents the most northerely record of the species for Hertfordshire.

Also second garden records of Marbled White-spot and Agonopterix purpurea (The former surprising as it's a common moth in the County). Agonopterix purpurea is a very early record for me.

Acrolepia autumnitella was lovely to see and just the third for the garden.

The best til' last, a garden first Heather feeder Aristotelia ericinella. Totally unexpected but being caught at a similiar time to 20+ trapped at Nomansland Common by Grame Smith, in fact a week later it turned up at Ashwell! nodding to suggestions that with the warm humid air it was dispersing, much like what we experience with wetland wanderer's. In must have had a good year and a new species for me to boot!

Garden species count for 2018 now upto 428.

Here are the new for year species.
