Ok I'm fine on quite a few now but I still struggle on some that others find easy, probably because I suffer a little from Pug Dyslexia or maybe it is Pug-avoidance.<br />
On the 5th June a little Pug was spotted on the wall next to the trap so I potted it up and checked it out the following morning.<br />
After posting the wrong ID, several Moth-ers corrected my mistake.<br />
As it turns out, it should not have been in my garden as this is a creature of moorland and heath.<br />
It probably came from the RSPB Old Heath at the Sandy headquarters which is about 3 miles from my garden as the moth flies.<br />
So I recorded my first Narrow-winged Pug which is a great garden tick for the centre of town.<br />

Emperor MothA perfect day for putting out a pheromone lure that I bought last year and kept in the freezer until today.<br />
10 minutes later I thought I had a result which turned out to be a Comma butterfly but three hours later a male Emperor was flying around the lure.<br />
Not bad for my garden which is in the middle of Biggleswade town, but these lures can be detected by the male up to 3 miles away so it says on the tin.<br />
I've put the lure back in the freezer now, no point in distracting more Emperor males.<br />

Latest garden moths ...<br />
3rd April ... Zelleria hepariella, Early Thorn, a Brimstone Moth on the 7th and a Red Chestnut last night (10th April) pictured below.<br />
So far this year only 24 species have been recorded in the garden.<br />
At the same time last year the total was 32 but that was a bad year !<br />

Garden Moth latestIt was going so well until the cloud cover disappeared, the temperature plumetted and the full moon lit up the garden at around 9 pm.<br />
4 x Common Quaker and a Double-striped Pug were the only macro moths.<br />
Amongst the 5 species of micro moths was a Caloptilia and I'm convinced it is "populetorum".<br />
The small black dots along the leading edge of the forewing and the dark cilla fringe are diagnostic.<br />
There are a couple of confusion species so this will require gendet to be absolutely sure.<br />
If my ID is correct then this will be only the 3rd record for VC30 and the 2nd record was caught in my garden in 2014 at the same time of year.<br />

'16 ... First Angle Shades of the year ............... and many more to come.<br />
Angle Shades is a common species in my garden and there are plenty of larvae still active at night that have yet to pupate.<br />
Numbers peak in June with the second generation peaking in September, according to the current literature but can be found all year round in favourable conditions and the Autumn generation numbers are boosted by migrants.<br />
My garden records more or less follow this pattern, apart from an exceptionally cold June in 2015<br />

Some literature says that it is named because the black markings resemble the Hebrew "nun" character.<br />
Nun is the 14th letter in the Hebrew alphabet but the markings more resemble the Hebrew Kaf or Khaf, the 11th letter. Whatever, it's the latest on the garden year list ...<br />

This one was found in the garden shed whilst rummaging around for something so unimportant that the sight of this moth made me forget what I was rummaging for.<br />
After a couple of quick camera snaps I returned it to its dormancy in the shed to wait for warmer nights.<br />

8.7 deg. C was the minimum temperature with light SW winds.<br />
Three species were added to the year list including the unusual shaped tortrix <i>Tortricodes alternella, </i>which is long and narrow compared to other tortrix's and easily recognised.<br />

Black-spotted ChestnutI had the pleasure of catching Bedfordshire's first record of Black-spotted Chestnut last night.<br />
This may have been blown in on the mild SSW wind from its Kent stronghold or possibly from western Spain, Portugal or France, we'll never know.<br />
The only other records outside of Kent are from Felixstowe, Suffolk in 2014 so this one is the most Northerly record for the UK.<br />

<span style="color: blue;">Another was caught on the 18th December in Upper Caldecote, about 3 miles away by Matt Burgess (son).</span><br />

This December Moth (male) is only my second record since Nov 2009.<br />
This is possibly due to larvae released on a small Hawthorn tree in the garden back in early April this year.<br />

Only 3 moths to show for it, Epiphyas postvittana, Herald and a garden 1st Ni Moth.<br />
Ni Moth is a rare immigrant and this one is only the second record for VC30, since one was caught in 2006...<br />

Phyllonorycter messaniella is one of the most common of the Phyllies but it took 6.5 years before I recorded it.<br />
It is quite worn and usually looks much browner ... ID was determined by the micro recorder who wasn't happy with my initial ID of P harrisella<br />
