26th July 2018

The flood of new moths shows no signs of abating, with the latest selection taking the garden list attained in not quite three years past that of what I achieved at Corbett Street in  seven!

[462] Bucculatrix ulmella

[463] Borkhausenia fuscescens
[464] Stathmopoda pedella
[465] Apotomis betulatana
[466] Grapholita compositella
[467] Dewick's Plusia

There were two headliners, with the formerly rare migrant now probable scarce resident, Dewick's Plusia, being much anticipated:



Dewick's Plusia Macdunnoughia confusa
The second major highlight was much less expected: the quite frankly weird micro Stathmopoda pedella:

A small micro at the trap bottom looks good for Bucculatrix ulmella:

I've done incredibly well for tortricids this year with a stack of new ones and here's another:

Apotomis betuletana

...and another in the form of Grapholita compositella which is locally regionally and one I wasn't anticipating here:

Borkhausenia fuscescens is more expected (I recorded it a few times at Corbett Street):
