new moth 24,08.11
A check on the moth trap at 5 a.m. today gave up two examples of a new moth for the garden in the shape of a garden carpet. Also, the usual regulars were in attendance, with another Evergestis garden pebble. Plenty of mottled rustics, a few rustics, common rustics, square spot rustics and 1 ear moth sp. This really requires dissection to clarify the actual species, but 99% guaranteed to be a common ear. Quite a few micros were photographed, now to wade through 1500 moths to identify them. Several have been uploaded here and will be named at a later date.
