Big warm up and the micros came out last night.
Lifer Black Locust Leafminer

Pretty sure this is a lifer Stigmella prunifoliella

Over 50 species in a west London NR last night. Nothing particularly unusual but nice seeing Centre-barred Sallow &Rosy Rustic.

Only my second garden Mouse Moth this morning. Such a boring moth!! First Angle Shades of the year too.

Didn’t trap last night, however a quick check on the patio halogen light wall before “lights out”revealed a (12’ up…NFY) Dusky Thorn…which I don’t get that many of.

Been getting a few of those (probably the same two every night). This week. Lovely things amongst lots of yellow underwings and light brown apple moths

If you catch them again put a dot on a wing with a magic marker then you'll know if you keep getting the same individuals.

Went to a very small nature reserve near where I live this morning where they were doing a bioblitz.

They had a very basic LED trap & when I opened it had very few moths. Not a single micro (perhaps a relief as I was supposed to be identifying the catch!) but with a Flame Carpet & 2 Square-spot Rustic. Nearby we found a Blood-vein on a piece of Yorkshire Fog grass, looking quite camouflaged.

Anything over a dozen is a good night for me, this am, I counted 36 of 11 with the lion’s share going to Light Emerald (16)+ a NFY…drum roll…..Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing! which rocketed out the pot before I could snap it.😩

Have you seriously overslept, or put this in the wrong thread?

I’ve been accused of living in the past before…living proof as I speak!
Did wonder what happened to my thread 🤣👍
