25th May 2018

The first really decent catch of the year with 45 species, with some migrant action (Silver Y x 8 and Diamondback x 1). Just one new for the garden (and an overall lifer):

[405] May Highflyer



May Highflyer Hydriomena impluviata

For some reason I hadn't really expected this species despite it being seemingly common over the border in Norfolk. Although on viewing the old VC29 checklist it is considered to be scarce. 


Tried some clearwing lures the following morning - two Red-belted came in to the CUL lure after a while..




Red-belted Clearwing Synanthedon myopaeformis
