Cooler, wetter weather and fewer moths to report but I still have managed to add two to the garden list this week. One is an old record thanks to gendet by our recorder. I submitted a sample of the small pugs that I was unable to identify from the glut that I had on 21/22 April. I was expecting that they were a mix of poorly marked Brindled and Oak-tree though I did have one interesting pale sandy coloured individual in the sample. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that I had TWO male Ocherous Pug records for the garden from this set. There are less than ten VC30 records and these represent the first away from the greensand ridge.
New this week was a garden first Nutmeg and a couple of expected common species.
Common Rustic agg. which confused me for a while - first for year 18/7. A small individual with a forewing of 12-13mm so same size as a Marbled Minor agg. in the trap next to it
The Nutmeg - new for garden 17/7, at least that's what I think it is, well dusted with grey
Common Wainscot - first time I have had an individual that resembles the "orange" one in the book
Mottled Rustic, a smart pale one
Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing, first for year 19/7
