21st Aug 2013 ... New micros

Scrobipalpa costella, Winter Groundling ? was added to the garden list on a very humid night with a full moon on view during cloud breaks and then rain.
This may have been overlooked in the past as it is quite common nationally and in VC 30
Udea lutealis, Pale Straw Pearl, was also added as a garden first and probably overlooked previously.
Lesser Wax Moth, Achroia grisella, was a year first and only the second record for garden.
Others included Mompha propinquella, Aethes smeathmanniana and 5 x Epermenia chaerophyllella with a mass of Acentria ephemerella (Water Veneer).
Of the macros, Old Lady and 3 x Centre-barred Sallow were the pick of the crop.
