A bigger wave

Looks like I am getting new moths for the gardens in pairs, firstly the two "pinions" and then to follow last weeks Small White Wave, a NFG Common Wave on 2nd June 2014. Not trapped this species before in the garden though had quite a few of the related Common White Wave. Also a selection of other more interesting pics from the last week including a potential further NFG in Small Clouded Brindle that needs more critical exam.

 Common Wave - NFG 2nd June - not a lot of markings to go on !

 Potential dark variant Small Clouded Brindle 2nd June 2014

 Ingrailed Clay

 Small Square-Spot - was a garden tick in 2013 so a rare catch for me

Comparison pair - Marbled Coronet (top) and Varied Coronet (bottom).
Former much rarer than latter and note the large pale markings near the wing tips

Marbled Coronet

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.
