Summary[edit] Description: On my return.. I had just arrived back from Turkey on the 22nd of August..it was quite warm and the evening looked good enough for a spot of British mothing so the light went out with high expectations. I came back to the peak flight time of Orange Swift it appeared with 8 individuals to the trap and probably the most i've recorded at one time in the garden. 14 Brimstones was also a population explosion for my garden! Most of the new species for the year were Micros with 5 in total. I thought that the micro Emmetia marginea was new for the year but it wasn't as I had found a mine earlier on in the year but it was nice to record an adult albeit a bit tatty. On the migrant front I got Silver-Y, Plutella xylostella and Udea ferrugalis.
