Farmyard Firsts

I ran my light in the farmyard at COAM last night for the first time. The trap was absolutely rammed with small brown micros (a lot looked like Blastobasis adustella) and Common Rustic aggs and a high showing of Tree-lichen Beauties.

But also a few NFYs with Tawny-speckled Pug, Small Rivulet, Rusty Dot Pearl, Pretty Chalk Carpet, Least Yellow Underwing and Hypsopygia glaucinalis.

Even better than that was a lifer for me, Jersey Tiger (in fact, two of them...)


Also this rather impressive Tanner Beetle...(photo doesn't really do it justice but it was huge!)
