Visit to Bromeswell Green 5th June

Not perhaps the best moth night around since it was clear with a moon and cool at dawn but I tallied 84 species with some nice micros.

Amongst the macros of possible interest were 4 Green Silver-lines and my first for the year for Small Phoenix and Rosy Footman.

Three Coleophora species; alticolella, caespititiella and milvipennis. Both Caloptilia robustella and alchimiella. Argyresthia retinella and three Phyllonorycter species; harrisella, heegeriella and lautella. Three torts perhaps of interest were Epinotia demarniana, E. tetraquetrana and Cochylis nana.

Also found a Glowworm in the trap and the tree bumble-bee, Bombus hypnorum and if you wish to hear the Nightingale, you cannot fail there. Three territories within the confines of the site.

Things picking up in numbers at home now with the species list in the low hundreds but nothing outstanding recently.
