Only ‘migrant’ I’ve been seeing recently has been Plutella xylostella, Silver Y’s noticeable by their absence. No more autumnal species either after my single early Pink-barred sallow, not even had the Centre-barred sallow (but it is uncommon here). More second broods have appeared this week – Chinese character (2) and Archips podana. First Feathered gothic last night and a Red underwing found at rest in the daytime, that’s it really for sightings of slight interest for me.

Except for that spell that brought some down from the north. Much like you Brian, Keith and Neil, I report the same seasonal species plus second or third broods emerging. Took fresh C. culmella, Archips podana and Rhodophaea formosa last night. A very interesting scenario with Grapholita funebrana this year. It has been a pest on my plums, but this year whilst I took an occasional specimen earlier in the year I have no ‘maggots’ in the plums now and what is more I have been taking a lot of the adults recently. makes me wonder what is going on with them but hopefully I shall have clean plums next year too.
