New micros for the year were Notocelia cynosbatella and Hedya pruniana.
Fingers crossed for some nice warm evenings this month.

June starts with a Flame Carpet
My weekly GMS garden trap last night yielded 50 macros and 11 micros. The highest number of any one species was 5 - Heart and Dart, Common Wainscot and Shears. There were 4 Light Emeralds. Pretty much everything else was in ones or twos. New for the year included Large Yellow Underwing, Snout, Poplar Hawkmoth, Flame, Knot Grass, Foxglove Pug and Middle-barred Minor. I also had a moth which I haven't seen before and which I identified as a Flame Carpet. I have posted a picture below, and would be grateful if someone could confirm my id.
