BORDERED STRAW,

11 Aug 2025, to actinic light

Biggleswade, VC30, TL 14

BEAUTIFUL SNOUT

 I haven't posted on the blogger for quite a while now so having been permanently disabled from my F/B account and the moth groups I am /was a member, I thought I would return to blogger and with any luck some of the members I knew will still be on here and are able to see the latest catches from my garden site in VC30, TL14, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire.

I'll start with a nice rarity to actinic light on the 28th June, 2025, a warm night with a lot of migrant activity.

Small Marbled is added to Bedfordshire VC30

The first record of Small Marbled for VC 30 landed in my Biggleswade garden on the 4th July, followed 24 hrs later by a second, caught by Andy Grimsey in his Luton trap.
