Diminished moth numbers

After torrential rain during Saturday afternoon, I was not expecting a great moth night, and so it proved.
New for the year were maiden's blush and iron prominent in the macros and Recurvaria leucatella, Aphelia paleana and Acrobsis ardvenella in the micros.
Everything else, riband waves, footmen, yellow underwings, red twin spot carpet etc, as usual, apart from a dagger species, grey or dark. They are inseparable without dissection. This one heard of this and promptly legged it
Acrobasis advenella
