16th July 2018

More than 100 species again with some quality amongst the quantity. Four species new for the garden, all of which are lifers:

[447] Double Lobed

[448] Gracillaria syringella
[449] Aproaerema anthyllidella
[450] Cochylimorpha straminea


Double Lobed Lateroligia ophiogramma
Gracillaria syringella

This gelechid took some working out but seems ok for A. anthyllidella more by a process of elimination (not that you could tell by the terrible photo):

Cochylimorpha straminea

Best of the rest included two Tree Lichen Beauty, with this being the smartest:



Tree Lichen Beauty Cryphia algae
While Olive is always welcome:


Olive Ipimorpha subtusa
While this Webb's Wainscot is substantially brighter than others I've caught and caused me to consider other species:


Webb's Wainscot Globia sparganii
Acrobasis consociella


Possibly better than all the moths though was this stunning Large Poplar Longhorn Beetle which was perched on the side of the trap:
