A muggy and drizzly nightNot last night, but the previous night, after a nice warm day and highs of nigh on 23 degrees, the sky clouded over as I was just debating whether to run the trap on the third consecutive night...I did indeed as the conditions looked perfect.A few more additions to the garden year list, Slender Pug and Teleiodes vulgella was the pick of the bunch.Ingrailed Clay seems to have stopped now and Dark Arches is probably going to increase now, Bright-line Brown-eye still having a cracking year and 5 examples of Common White Wave is the most I have ever recorded in one trap before.Also a second brood Engrailed was found on the side of the trap, the slightly early date of this second brood could suggest a third brood may be recorded in August.Also of interest, I haven't recorded Pandemis cerasana or heparana this year yet (both recorded last year) but I got my first corylana last night, suggesting I may have missed these two common species this year.Will try trapping again tonight, after a break last night (cool and clear)Catch Report - 17/06/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Slender Pug [NFY]1x Double Square-spot [NFY]4x Dark Arches3x Dot Moth1x Green Pug2x Freyer's Pug2x Large Yellow Underwing3x Common Footman1x Engrailed 2x Flame Shoulder 12x Mottled Rustic 22x Heart & Dart1x Poplar Hawk-moth1x Flame2x Grey Pug 2x Light Emerald 2x Marbled Minor2x Green Silver-lines 2x Garden Carpet 7x Brown Rustic 1x Vine's Rustic1x Clouded Silver1x Clouded Border1x Spectacle1x Maiden's Blush1x Orange Footman5x Common White Wave1x Common Swift1x Mottled Beauty6x Bright-line Brown-eye8x Uncertain1x Pale Mottled Willow1x Large NutmegMicro Moths 1x Epiblema uddmanniana [NFY]1x Endotricha flammealis [NFY]1x Amblyptilia acanthadactyla [NFY]1x Blastobasis lacticolella [NFY]1x Archips xylosteana [NFY]1x Pandemis corylana [NFY]1x Teleiodes vulgella [NFY]5x Tortrix viridana2x Dipleurina lacustrata1 Emmelina monodactyla 1x Epiphyas postvittana 4x Celypha lacunana1x Hedya nubiferana 1x Udea olivalis1x Udea prunalis 3x Aphomia sociella 4x Aleimma loeflingiana 3x Chrysoteuchia culmella 3x Scoparia ambigualis
