Greatest variety so far this year with 24 macro species trapped overnight including two new for the garden and four additional new for year.
Marbled Coronet - new for garden 14/6, uncommon and local in VC30 with less than 30 records
Foxglove Pug - new for garden 14/6. Originally thought to be a Toadflax Pug due to small size (only just touching the 10mm grad on my ruler) and darkness of markings but when I looked at it again the patterning is just not right; also confirmed for me by other "experts"
Mottled Beauty - makes a change from Willow... new for year, only one in 2010
Light Arches - new for year, just two in 2010.
Marbled Coronet - new for garden 14/6, uncommon and local in VC30 with less than 30 records

Great Marbled Coronet, bet you were thrilled when you saw that in the trap! I've seen Varied, but never Marbled. I had my first Light Arches this morning as well, 1ovely and fresh too.
