A bit warmer last night after quite a few cold nights with frosts at IGC, but nothing exciting to report in the trap I ran. First Eriocrania subpurpurella for the year the only thing of note from 11sp.
Did see 2 Orange underwing today in the sunny weather that did make up for the poor night’s catch a bit, especially as one was fluttering around close to the ground looking for moisture on some damp grass. If the sunny weather continues it will be worth checking areas of Birch for this species.
Hi Neil, looked up Conistra rubiginosa you described in the pub on http://www.lepforum.de. Being the one I suspected from your description it is too distinctive to get missed should it turn up in Suffolk.
