Milestone reached today, with the 100th micro being recorded from the skinner trap in the garden. A good selection of new micros in quite an empty trap, as expected after the previous night's torrential rain.
New for me were: Dioryctoria abietella and Dioryctoria simplicella whilst Yponomeuta malinus, Acleris corylana and Acleris variegana were new for the year. The only new for year macro was a small waved umber.
In all 35 species (17 macros/18 micros.) Another unusual macro was a superb flame carpet that was posing well for a photo until I reached for the camera.
