Woolpit 25 July – Silky Wainscot

Another busy trap for me personally with 53 species noted. Moth of the night has to be Silky Wainscot – a most unexpected first for the garden and one that threw me for a while. I’d been looking at the pyralid  plates for ages until the penny finally dropped! Also of note were a second Limnaecia phragmitella (5th garden record), Small Rivulet (3rd garden record) and Dingy Shears (3rd garden record). A Catoptria pinella was noted last night when I went out to check the trap just before turning in for the night but evaded capture.
