August update

It's been manic around the traps for the last two nights and I'm getting behind on my records. I still have a few micros to be ID'd so I'll just post some highlights for the 1st and 2nd Aug.
1st Aug...overnight min. temp. 16 degrees
2nd Aug.. "      "      "      "   15.2 degrees
both nights calm.

A year first Least Yellow Underwing on the 1st plus another Old Lady (still evading the camera !) Also a first for year Ypsophola sequella.




LEAST YELLOW UNDERWING




YPSOLOPHA SEQUELLA

Last night (2nd) was even busier than the previous.
100+ Shuttle-shaped Darts were emptied from the traps for the second night running !
A garden first Webb's Wainscot was a good find alongside a year first Rosy Rustic in the BBQ area trap.

ROSY RUSTIC

WEBB'S WAINSCOT

On the micro scene I found a garden first Skin Moth and a year first Rhyacionia pinicolana to add to the list.

MYOPIS LAEVIGELLA...Skin Moth

RHYACIONA PINICOLANA

Best catch of the night by far was the following :-


TOADFLAX BROCADE

Two Toadflax Brocades were a nice surprise, just when I thought they had dried up.
