Like Raymond I’ve not been inspired to run any moth traps this week, due to the poor overnight weather – why waste electricity for a small amount of rustics and underwings?!
So my moth searching efforts have been directed to more daytime stuff. Did make a nice discovery on Tuesday evening when a walk around the Newbourne springs SWT reserve resulted in the discovery of the mine of Mompha terminella on the abundant Enchanter’s nightshade growing there. So if you know of any spots nearby it is worth looking for this species now. The mine is a quite distinct spiral pattern.
