Another landmark figure.

Last night's haul of 15 moths of 13 species was decidedly poor but a small Acleris sp had me interested. First glance made me think asperana but after residing in the fridge a while it turned out to be an extremely worn Ac rhombana, which, although taken in parish woodland is a first for the garden and so becomes the 400th species for my garden since 2011 (June.)
Other species this morning were:
Ag tristella, Ag geniculea, Amblyptillia acanthadactyla, Pleutopyta ruralis square spot rustic, yellowshell, lesser BBY underwing, setaceous hebrew character, small square spot, vine's rustic, orange swift and straw underwing.
Lesser Broad Bordered Yellow Underwing
small square spot.

Orange swift

square spot rustic
