Description

A record April species count

19 species were recorded in my small garden last night, 2 more than my best previous catch in April. What's more, a magnificient 8 were new for the year! Crazy for here and a great show of micros early to the trap before 10pm.

Lovely to also get a Lime Hawk-moth, my first Hawk this year. The photo really doesn't do it justice on how green it is.

A very dark Argyrotaenia ljungiana was in mint condition along with a pair of Tachystola acroxantha.

I also attracted my earliest Heart & Dart by 16 days, every year they have been getting a couple of days earlier, this being the biggest jump.

All moths were potted up and walked a few hundred metres from my garden along the bridlepath so hopefully I won't re-catch any of them.

I would have a night off, but the weather looks pretty good if not warmer and with actual cloud for once, traps on!

Garden species count for 2020 now upto 89.

30 moths of 19 species to 250w Clear MV Robinson Trap min 6.2c at 5:30am
