Still relatively small catches but micros are starting to be little more prevalent. Two species were new for the garden:
[293] V-pug
[294] Small Square-spot
Small Square-spot is a species that has studiously avoided my traps in Cottenham despite appearing in most places I've trapped elsewhere locally. Its a shame therefore that this one was so battered:
V-Pug surprisingly didn't turn up last year, so good to get one early on in 2017:
New for the year moths included Nephopterix angustella, a species that was new for me only last year:
Treble Brown Spot:
and Yellow Shell:
