30th May 2009 - day flying

Very warm and sunny but with a strong breeze so probably fewer moths flying than otherwise. A tiny black and white micro is almost certainly Ectoedemia occultella - a garden first - but will have to be confirmed by gen.det.


At least 7 Nemophora degeerella were dancing in the sun in a sheltered part of the garden and several other species were netted:

Monopis lavigella - 1
Tinea semifulvella - 1
Nemapogon cloacella - 2
Anthophila fabriciana - 1
Cacoecimorpha pronubana - 2
Pyrausta aurata - 2
Small Magpie - 1
