A new garden moth graced my trap on the 6th of September, the migrant silky white Palpita vitrealis.
Having seen my first for the UK only last year at nearby Chippenham Fen, it was fantastic to add it to the garden list, moth species no.860 for the garden.
Other moths of note were year firsts of Acleris sparsana & Phyllonorycter harrisella and only the 2nd Rush Veneer of the year, what a poor year for them here!
A tiny Stigmella was retained, which will probably turn out to be either samiatella or tiliae.
Other than that, it was the usual late summer early autumn species show.
Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 587 species
