Description:

A new Macro and a new Micro from the back gardenNot as spectacular as recent standards and with fewer moths this morningall was not lost though as I found a County 3rd? Toadflax Brocade sittingon the wall behind my trap. The other two records are from Hertford (2009)and Bayfordbury in (2010), a welcome surprise.I have only included species that weren't present in last nights trap.As if a new Macro for my records wasn't enough. I managed a new Microaswell, Argyresthia albistria.I gave the moths a night off last night as it has been torrential here!Back to trapping tonight as it looks to be a warm night again.Catch Report - 04/08/13 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson trapMacro Moths1x Toadflax Brocade [NEW!]1x Buff Footman [NFG]1x Pebble Hook-tip [NFG]1x Phoenix [NFG]1x Magpie Moth [NFY]1x September Thorn [NFY]1x Scarce Footman3x Yellow Shell1x Snout1x Common White Wave1x Lackey1x Maidens BlushMicro Moths1x Argyresthia albistria [NEW!]1x Ypsolopha dentella [NFG]1x Catoptria falsella [NFG]2x Tinea trinotella [NFG]1x Hedya salicella [NFG]2x Parornix sp [NFG]1x Euzophera pinguis [NFG]2x Phyllonorycter messaniella [NFG]2x Teleiodes vulgella [NFG]1x Pyrausta aurata [NFY]1x Argyresthia goedartella1x Phalonidia sp (pending)
