Few moths after rainy night

A haul of 48 moths, comprising 28 species last night. Managed to get to the trap, after some rain, at 5a.m. before the torrential rain began. Consequently, only a few so worn that they were unidentifiable.
New for the macros this year was a small square spot.

On the micro front Cochylis atricapitana was a good find whilst Agriphila geniculea was new for the garden whilst a Eucosma species, possibly a new for garden obumbratana, awaits further identification. Edit: now confirmed as Eucosma obumbratana, 399th moth species for the garden.
