Every year Barry Dickerson, the Huntingdonshire county recorder, identifies by dissection a number of moths that I have been otherwise unable to identify. This year's results add 7 species to the garden list (bringing it to 456 for the year and 757 in total). Where I have photos they are copied below together with several species not recorded here recently.

Only the 4th garden record of Elachista humilis and the first decent photo.
