Still poor moth numbers, but some new ones!

A  new pug to be added to the garden list. Likely that this common moth has been overlooked rather than totally new. Identified by dissection as the whole pug family is by far the most complex to identify in the hand, unless the moths are in mint condition. An oak tree pug taken on 07.05.13, identified for me by Graeme. Many thanks. Also on the same night, a double striped pug, new for the year.
Also new for the year, a micro, garden pebble and a latticed heath were the only moths out last night.
latticed heath (Chiasmia clathrata clathrata)

garden pebble (Evergestis forficalis)
