On Tuesday night I had quite a small catch of moths of
about 80 moths of 20 species, things are certainly feeling a lot more autumnal
recently and the catch is starting to reflect that with Barred and
Centre-barred Sallows featuring in every trap now.
A second Old Lady of the year was notable as I usually
only get one a year.
Best moth was a Mompha species that looks like a brown
form of Mompha sturnipennella, a moth I trapped last week at Hexton Chalk Pit
that was the usual darker bround colour with distinct black slashes along the
forewing.
In my specimen from Tuesday night you can just make these
out...but it also looks very similiar to jurassicella which I recorded for the
first time only this year in the garden.
Of course naturally I would prefer to add sturnipennella
to the garden list! but a second record of jurassicella would be very welcome.
The moth is retained for dissection.
