13th June 2017

Still relatively small catches but micros are starting to be little more prevalent. Two species were new for the garden:

[293] V-pug
[294] Small Square-spot

Small Square-spot is a species that has studiously avoided my traps in Cottenham despite appearing in most places I've trapped elsewhere locally. Its a shame therefore that this one was so battered:


Small Square-spot Diarsia rubi
V-Pug surprisingly didn't turn up last year, so good to get one early on in 2017:


V-pug Chloroclystis v-ata
New for the year moths included Nephopterix angustella, a species that was new for me only last year:



Nephopterix angustella
Treble Brown Spot:



Treble Brown Spot Idaea trigeminata

and Yellow Shell:

Yellow Shell Camptogramma bilineata
