[563] Bucculatrix bechsteinella
[564] Clouded-bordered Brindle
[565] Alder Moth
This Bucculatrix had me scratching my head but after catching both ulmella and frangutella in previous years i could be confident it wasn't either of those. B.bechsteinella is a species I wasn't familiar with at all but it matches well to several online photos. It is a relatively widespread species that mines on hawthorn.

Alder Moth is distinctive noctuid that isn't uncommon in various spots in the Country but not so much in Cambridgeshire. I haven't caught up with it anywhere so I was really glad to catch this one.

Another widespread noctuid is Clouded-bordered Brindle. Again it is somewhat scarce in this part of Cambs, however I have recorded it elsewhere a few times.

There were plenty of other highlights including two Cydia conicolana making it three in total this week. I recorded this species for the first time last year so perhaps it will be regular from now on.

My second Lime Hawkmoth for the garden was definitely appreciated:

Somewhat less inspiring is the pyralid Homoeosoma sinuella:

There were two Buttoned Snout in the trap, which must be the first time I've had more than one at a time:
