Conditions looked very good last night, with it being warm, cloudy and humid with winds coming up from France. So a bit disappointed this morning to find the traps weren’t as busy as I’d thought they would be. Maybe this is due to the recent heavy rain we have had here, and also the main recording season is now tailing off. Still, there were 104sp trapped with a few minor highlights including 4 Tree-lichen beauty (getting a bit worn now), C. straminea (not a common micro here), Scorched carpet (used to be rare but now starting to appear more often here, my second record this year), Mouse (first for year), Agonopterix assimilella and Gelechia senticetella. Only ‘migrants’ were a few Plutella xylostella and a White point.
