Summary

Description

Just incredible

Is how I would describe opening the trap on Tuesday morning.. it was exciting noting down so many good moths, but equally frustrating that it was hammering down with rain, and I was bent over at a 45 degree angle trying to shield the trap with my bright blue cagoule! Despite the rain, it was very mild, in facrt the night didn't drop below 16 degrees and as a result it was a busy trap with over 70 species. Rain and moth wings, don;'t mix very well. This was apparent upon finding the first moth paddling around on the patio, gah... it was a garden first and one of Britains prettiest moths, the Scarlet Tiger... not this one, the poor thing was drowning so I quickly potted him up and dried him off as best as I could, such a shame.

This is only my second record of Scarlet Tiger, the first was in 2014 in Hemel Hempstead.

Adding to that initial excitement were a further two new for garden species, Elegia similella and a Scrobipalpa sp, which looks very good for Tuta absoluta....possibly a County first for Herts. We'll see, but it certainly caught my eye, all 7mm of it!

21 nfy species is nearly the most new for year species i've recorded in one sitting (23 the best).


Garden species count for 2019 now upto 230.
