10th September 2018

It's officially autumn judging by the appearance of some classic species from this time of year in the trap. There were also a couple of long awaited firsts for the garden:

[477] Centre-barred Sallow

[478] Small Ranunculus

I was surprised to find that I haven't picked up Centre-barred Sallow since 2013, when I had nine individuals in my Corbett Street trap in late August / Early September. It was annual in years before that too.


Centre-barred Sallow Atethmia centrago

This is the first Small Ranunculus I've recorded since 2014 - and the first time I have trapped both Small and Large Ranunculus together:


Small Ranunculus Hecatera dysodea
