June 2012

A dark form of Celypha lacunana, trapped on 16th June, was unusual, but on 28th Elachista alpinella appeared - a garden first and only the second occurrence for the county.

14th May 2009 - nighttime

With heavy rain forecast I put the MV just inside the garage door - as it transpired there was very little rain so I ended up with a reasonable catch with several year-firsts.

Not new for the year, but at least photogenic this time, Plutella xylostella - the Diamond-back Moth:
