24th June 2014 .... Cold night , low catch

A north easterly breeze and temperature down to 8 degrees put the brakes on the mothing.
And it looks like staying cool right through the weekend too.
I have seasonally adjusted my year total to date.
It now stands at 293 after I added 13 missed species, added 1 from last night and deducted Eudonia pallida which was in fact a worn Dipleurina lacustrata. ( as Mr. Ben Sale suggested on the blog comments)
Shaded Pug has been counted in the tally but remains unconfirmed, this is in the freezer ready to go to the recorders.

The only addition to the year list last night was Sitachroa verticalis.
Just 34 species recorded which is around 50 species less than the previous couple of weeks.
