22nd June 2014 .. micro ID and trap latest

Another warm, calm night with plenty of action around the traps.
This Agonopterix species was potted up......

Probably A. heracliana although it is out of season, but what isn't this year ?
Only 2 others are similar, ciliella, which is also out of season, and cnicella which is flying in June but is a coastal species that has not been recorded in Bedfordshire VC30.
The forewing length is 9.5mm so all three fall into the size range.
One for our micro man.

Another micro which I haven't ID'd is this worn example below ....

I've brightened up the photo to try and pick out some detail.
Another for our micro man.

The past two days have been much cooler. Not much to report on the garden traps front, just one year tick and and a garden first maybe 2 following a Gen Det.... but that will be a couple of weeks or more away.
OEGOCONIA SP. I think this may be "quadripuncta" BROWN-TAIL 2029... first for year EUDONIA PALLIDA 1336... garden first, possibly overlooked in the past. Garden totals :-

296 species, 179 macro, 117 micro
