Another rush of new moths included some dashes of colour from a Green Silver-lines and what is probably the best of the regular hawk-moths - an Eyed. There was also a tidy Small Elephant Hawk-moth which is far from annual here. Sol its just Lime Hawk-moth to go for the garden now for the 'regular' hawkmoths, although this species doesn't appear to be anywhere near as common here in Cottenham than in central Cambridge for example.
A bit more dowdy was a migrant Rush Veneer and an absolutely minuscule micro appears to be Elachista atricomella. Beautiful Hooktip continues its general increase locally and the 4th of the year appeared amongst some real mid-summer species.
So new moths were:
[110] Elachista atricomella
[111] Eudonia mercurella
[112] Rush Veneer
[113] Treble Brown-spot
[114] Eyed Hawk-moth
[115] Small Elephant Hawk-moth
[116] Common Footman
[117] Double Square-spot
[118] Common Rustic
[119] Straw Dot
[120] Green Silver-lines
[121] The Snout
