We are now getting weather that we should have got in June! Sadly a little late for a lot of my target species this year as we approach mid Summer, there's always next year.
Moth continue to dazzle though, with a lovely Scarce Silver-lines and a silky Oak Hook-tip in the trap on Thursday night.
Several slightly large Batia lunaris were measured for the rare lambdella, sadly, too small (They need to be 8mm+ long generally, leading to a 16-20mm wingspan).
A further 4 micros were added to the year list.
Finally, the night time temperatures are extremely favourable for some mothy action.
Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 486 species
