First time I've been able to run the trap for over a week, and now the garden sallow has largely gone over and cold weather is forecast, may be a week or so before it is worth trapping again.
I had 12 species last night, mostly the usual suspects, but a few interesting ones.
Epermenia chaerophyllella, a new species for the garden, had me confused for a while. The large brown scale tufts are characteristic.
Agonopterix alstromeriana, as well as one in the trap, I had one in my allotment polytunnel yesterday which is in a different 2km square.
Finally, Oak Nycteoline (Nycteola revayana), a local species which I get regulatly in the garden.
