Steady does it...

Nothing to set the world alight last night, but a few more new for year, highlight was the micro Phtheochroa rugosana.



Catch report

Epiphyas postvittana
Endrosis sarcitrella
Phtheochroa rugosana

Shuttle-shaped Dart



Waved Umber

Bits and pieces

Too windy last night for anything decent to the trap:

5 Epiphyas postvittana
Early Grey
Angle Shades




Dusking (in the lee of any shelter) was slightly more productive:

7 Cosmiotes freyerella
Depressaria heraclei
Brimstone Moth
2 Green Carpet



Fingers crossed that the forecast for the weekend holds true and that the wind dies down a bit...

Catch report: back garden MV trap, 8th May 2012

Still no more than ticking over but at least a list, of sorts, from last night:

Agonopterix arenella 
Epiphyas postvittana - 8 (are they bouncing back this year?)
Emmelina monodactyla
Angle Shades
Brimstone

and two new for year...

 Rustic Shoulder-knot
 

Common Swift
 

Just ticking over but LBAM's on the rise...

Nothing new to the garden trap for a few days now, just middling numbers of usual suspects, although a few more LBAMs now turning up - will it bounce back this year seeing how the winter was relatively mild.
