Been a busy time mothing, with numbers in the garden trap frequently topping 100 of up to 40 species.
New for year have been centre barred sallows, brindled green, Dioryctria sylevestrella, Digitvalva pulicariae, Udea lutealis, frosted orange and feathered gothic.
Numbers of setaceous hebrew character and square spot rustic often top 30 per night and on the 29th a visit to Little Hadham Place. Here, 140 moths of 31 species were identified and, whilst nothing new for the year, several species new for this site, last trapped in early July.
