Summary[edit]

Description

Variety from the garden trap On Tuesday night it was really nice seeing a great deal of variety in the garden trap, upon opening it on Wednesday morning.

Highlights from the large side of moths, were two cracking fresh species that aren't always annual here. Toadflax Brocade is increasing here and I now get both generations (I now have 3 records so far this year at time of going to blog). Even better was a really fresh Figure of Eighty, with a lovely purple sheen behind the head, something i've never noticed it having before.

Micro moths are still few and far between, but the most interesting one was also the smallest and was whisked over to Graeme Smith to be looked at, it was a tiny metallic Stigmella which turns out to be Stigmella samiatella, an Oak mining species and probably the product of the mature Oaks at the rear of our garden. It is a new species for my UK list and the 342nd Micro species for the year.

Garden species count for 2019 now upto 101.
