Nothing unexpected otherwise and I wonder whether the stiff breeze affected the catch. It was nice to see Large Tabby though, although fairly regular here.

Another new moth for my garden last night was Grapholita lobarzewskii. Just checking whether the photo is adequate for ID on this rather distinctive looking moth rather than gen. det.

Hello Adam,
ReplyDeleteI'm not 100% sure about the tortrix from that picture. The choice is between janthinana and lobarzewskii and if you can rule out the former than I'm sure you are correct. G.lobarzewskii seems to have become a lot more widespread locally over the last two or three years.
Thanks Dave, I should have said that the Grapholita is 7mm long, so I think that rules out janthinana. I’ve kept it for Peter anyway just to double check.
