Description

Latest from the garden trap

Just 5 moths last night! and again of 5 species, exactly the same as the previous night (weird) and pretty poor, but it was nice to add two new species for the year and both were unexpected which was a bonus, the first for how early it is, a Grey Dagger.

The second, a lovely Herald that is far from annual here and has to be one of the best looking moths this time of the year.

In the afternoon I tripped stupidly over the garden broom, racing to get the net that I always have by the back door. I could see something flying 'moth like' in the sunshine, my prediction was correct, a year first Esperia sulphurella was the culprit, sadly it was quite tatty and had lost a lot of it's beautiful scales.

Garden species count for 2020 now upto 65.
