Ran 2 traps in the area I think is the best for moth variety on the site last night. There’s wet woodland, Oak/Birch woodland, heathland and reedbed all in the same small area and I’ve had 150+ counts of species at this spot in previous years at this time of year. Conditions perfect, with cloud, warmth and high humidity. What did this produce? Counted 73sp in the morning, with the only species in good numbers being Brown silver line, Light emerald and Treble lines. Everything else in small numbers. Hardly any micros, I normally do well for those in this spot. No Heart and Dart at all. Disappointing.
Were a few minor highlights: Brindled white spot (6), Small white wave, Pinion streaked snout (8), Peach blossom and Telechrysis tripuncta.

Wonder if T. tripuncta is an immigrant as I caught one at the same time and there are a lot of migrants around at present.
I don’t think so at this site as I’ve had it a number of times before, even during times of no immigration. May be at your site however.
