Hello Everyone
Not too many moths in my trap in the garden here at IGC on the night of the 15th, but some were of interest including a few micros. Only notables listed below:
Least black arches – 1 First for year
Pale pinion – 1
Purple thorn – 1
Elachista rufocinerea - 5
Elachista apicipunctella – 1
Schreckensteinia festaliella – 1
Tony and myself also had a search along a long stretch of Blackthorn hedge at Lavenham on Friday night, hoping for Sloe carpet. We didn’t find any, although we did see a few other species flying round the hedge, nothing too exciting, best probably S. steinkellneriana.
