Just the one new year lister from last night; black rustic. This stunning moth is not a common visitor to the garden trap, with 3 records from 2012 and none since until last night. Numbers, due to clear/cold sky were seriously down on the previous night, with just 18 moths of 9 species: 8 setaceous hebrew character, 2 square spot rustics, 2 large yellow underwing and singles of common wainscot, lesser yellow underwing, lunar underwing, Acleris variegana, Vine's rustic and the black rustic, shown below.
