A very busy moth trap this morning, with a wide variety of usual and irregular visitors. However, the undoubted highlight was finding a single specimen of the natioanlly scarce moth "waved black". First found in Hertfordshire in the 1950's it had been recorded only 35 times by 2008. Apart from this there were examples of dark barred twin spot carpet, latticed heath, lesser broad bordered yellow underwing, dingy footman, large yellow underwing, brimstone moth, poplar hawkmoth, setaceous hebrew character, riband wave plus a selection of , as yet, unidentified micro moths. The waved black record and photo has been forwarded to the county recorder.
