22nd May 2009

The first really busy night of the year with 89 moths of 44 species spread across two traps - ten new species for the year were recorded. A tort (probably Cochylidia implicitana), a pug (Common?) and two gelechids remain to be identified. A fly-off pug looked very much like Freyer's but I didn't get a good enough look to be sure.
