12 Aug '12 ... Garden traps

No sign of macro no. 300 which is disappointing given the great weather for the last week.
The last two nights haven't boosted the year list by many, just an expected Square-spot Rustic and a Small China-mark....
A second Small Rivulet for the garden, Latticed Heath, Nut-tree Tussock and White Satin Moth were nice finds.
No Footman moths for the first time in weeks, whoosh, that was your summer !

Square-spot Rustic ... Xestia xanthographa, year first.

Small China-mark, Cataclysta lemnata, year first

Latticed Heath, Chiasmia clathrata
