15th/16th June ... Garden Moths latest

At last, a warm, humid, overcast night, perfect for a bit of mothing.
Nothing much on the 15th, although I managed to add Celypha lacunana and Middle-barred Minor to the year list.

The light breeze was still coming from the NE and had a cold feel to it but it slowly shifted to the SE giving us a glorious day yesterday and a perfect moth night.
Probably about 70 species at the lights last night allowing for the ones I have forgotten, surprisingly, no Hawk-moths.
Micros took centre stage with several year first records and a new species for the garden, Carpatolechia fugitivella.
