2nd Aug 2014 .. Oranges and Lemons

4th Aug. 2011....After the Lord Mayors show.

Overnight min temp...12 deg, calm
The previous evenings  Diplopseustis perieresalis is going to be a hard act to follow but it was the micros again that boosted the garden tally.
Best of the macro moths were Barred Red, Sallow Kitten, the reappearance of Vine's Rustic and Orange Swifts in their finest livery.
The usual 100 plus Shuttle-shaped Darts were in the two traps and Turnip Moth numbers are increasing so I'll be looking carefully for a similar looking Swordgrass.


BARRED RED

The micros produced 3 new garden records.
228 Monopis weaverella, 746 Chrysoesthia drurella and 1260 Cydia splendana.

CHRYSOESTHIA DRURELLA 746
