Common Marbled Carpet?
Problem with irecord
I had a frustrating experience yesterday.I had uploaded 40 odd species from a summer MV trap but when I completed the “where was it” tab it wouldn’t save.I went through the process several times.I had to leave and record not saved as of this morning.
I had a go with a recent catch (2 moths!) and it worked but I am nervous about risking big summer catches!
Have others had this problem?
I am I missing something?

Scarce Bordered Straw?
Rather worn, but is this Scarce Bordered Straw? There's a hint of a broad dark outer band, but not much else to go on, and it's not a species I have had before.

Jersey Mocha
The 05/09/24 was one of my highest catches of the year to my Penn garden
with 129 Large Yellow Underwing. It also produced this individual which i think is a Jersey Mocha

Hook-tips
Hi All
I just wanted to mention that any Watsonalla hook-tips, especially in autumn, should be retained in case of W. uncinula. For some technical reason I can't see comments, so I don't know what has been said about the very recent one. Obviously, if anyone wants to reply please do so directly to my email or I won't be able to see it.
I was previously only able to access the site by deleting all site-related cookies but this time it tells me there aren't any, even though I had just been looking at it. I know others have had issues and something is clearly still awry.
I had another vitrealis last night along with gamma and xylostella.

Marvellous as ever
I've been too superstitious to mention my wait for the Merveille du Jour to friends and I was beginning to wonder whether it would arrive this year before I pack things up. Last night, it did. Or rather they did, two fresh and beautiful specimens. Perhaps they were also attracted by our pumpkin. Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
