May 2014

Once again Barry Dickerson, the Hunts county recorder, has dissected the unidentified micros that I have collected over the year. Eight new species for the garden take the list to over 800 - 805 to be exact - and include one species recorded for the first time in Hunts - Grapholita lobarzewskii. The year list finishes on 479 species, over 30 down on last year's record total.

Elachista luticomella was trapped on 19th May and is just the second county record.
