Description

What a night! With the MV Robinson Trap back in action, it was time to see what graced the trap come Monday morning. I was pretty darned pleased to say the least, there were literally loads of moths. Unfortunately the birds still beat me to a few of the bigger moths.

I got up at 6 to find a year first Swallow-tailed Moth wings, but luckily the best was in the trap! Nearly 200 moths last night with 22 New species for the year...probably a record catch for the garden. Again mostly micros but it was certainly a Wave night with Small Dusty, Common White, Riband, Small Fan-footed, Dwarf Cream, Treble Brown Spot and Single-dotted Wave!

Elephant Hawk-moth, Haworths Pug, Dingy Shears and Epagoge grotiana were pick of the bunch. But best of all, both of the micros Argyresthia cupressella and Swammerdamia caesiella were new ones for me.

Argyresthia cupressella if correct will be the 4th County record for Hertfordshire.

All these new ones suddenly sees me at 240 species for the year though still some way to beat 385 species I had last year, still things are still possible as out of the 240 species so far this year an amazing 36 species have been new for the garden

I had a night off last night as it had teamed it down for a few hours before darkness and the vegetation was sopping.
