After a record-breaking start to the summer for moths in
our County, things have slowed down somewhat for the garden trap, still some
interest about and it's usually the time to look out for quality as numbers get
lower making it easier to spot moths that you otherwise may have missed.
Monday night was a bit cooler but still warm enough for
some activity.
Eucosma cana,
despite being a common moth in the county and extremely common on field trips,
it seems to be quite scarce in my garden and the one example on Monday night
was the first since 2014.
Previous records are one example in 2014 and 8 in 2013.
Another Eucosma, Eucosma obumbratana turned up as a year first as
well and certainly more regular being recorded in the last 4 years but with
just 1 or 2 records per year.
