2nd June 2020

Despite being cooler than the warm week in late May, this first trapping night in June was still somewhat underwhelming with just 36 species recorded. I shouldn't complain too much as there was still a new moth for the garden:

[575] Sandy Carpet

While it is not uncommon I have only recorded Sandy Carpet out of County before. 


Sandy Carpet Perizoma flavofasciata

Brown Silver-line was just the second to be recorded here, with the first record coming in 2017:

Brown Silver-line Petrophora chlorosata

The best of the rest was a new for the year Beautiful Hook-tip:

Beautiful Hook-tip Laspeyria flexula
