A new Macro and a new Micro from the back gardenNot as spectacular as recent standards and with fewer moths this morningall was not lost though as I found a County 3rd? Toadflax Brocade sittingon the wall behind my trap. The other two records are from Hertford (2009)and Bayfordbury in (2010), a welcome surprise.I have only included species that weren't present in last nights trap.As if a new Macro for my records wasn't enough. I managed a new Microaswell, Argyresthia albistria.I gave the moths a night off last night as it has been torrential here!Back to trapping tonight as it looks to be a warm night again.Catch Report - 04/08/13 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson trapMacro Moths1x Toadflax Brocade [NEW!]1x Buff Footman [NFG]1x Pebble Hook-tip [NFG]1x Phoenix [NFG]1x Magpie Moth [NFY]1x September Thorn [NFY]1x Scarce Footman3x Yellow Shell1x Snout1x Common White Wave1x Lackey1x Maidens BlushMicro Moths1x Argyresthia albistria [NEW!]1x Ypsolopha dentella [NFG]1x Catoptria falsella [NFG]2x Tinea trinotella [NFG]1x Hedya salicella [NFG]2x Parornix sp [NFG]1x Euzophera pinguis [NFG]2x Phyllonorycter messaniella [NFG]2x Teleiodes vulgella [NFG]1x Pyrausta aurata [NFY]1x Argyresthia goedartella1x Phalonidia sp (pending)

Broken trap - Bring out the reserve!A bit of a nightmare last night, I went to switch the trap on and....nothing! Ah nuts. It was late and I was tired, so I brought the trap in to look at it this morning.In place of it, I ran my 160w Mercury Blended Robinson Trap, which usually catches a lot less but the bonus is that it does attract different things.A trip down memory lane HERE is a catch from the same date using the same trap, five years ago in 2009.The weather was perfect, no wind and plenty of cloud cover, although it did clear sometime during the night as it was clear at 5.30am this morning.The emergency change of trap didn't disappoint....Micro's have definitely increased in numbers over the last few days with 9 new ones for the year last nightPandemis cerasana finally turned up (2 worn examples)...after seeing these for weeks out in the field.It was lovely to see my third garden Eyed Hawk-moth and a second Phoenix.Luckily my MV Robinson Trap is back in action!Catch Report - 21/06/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 160w MBT Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Phoenix [NFY]1x Foxglove Pug [NFY]1x Marbled Minor2x Dark Arches1x Buff Ermine1x Willow Beauty1x Buff-tip2x Common Wainscot2x Flame1x Privet Hawk-moth1x Eyed Hawk-moth1x Grey Pug4x Common Footman1x Flame Shoulder2x Bright-line Brown-eye1x Heart & Club1x Fan-foot1x Nutmeg2x Dot Moth1x Clouded Brindle3x Treble Brown Spot1x Brimstone9x Uncertain4x Mottled Beauty5x Riband Wave1x Light Emerald3x Double Square-spot9x Heart & Dart5x Mottled RusticMicro Moths 1x Batia lunaris [NFY]1x Coleophora mayrella [NFY]2x Pandemis cerasana [NFY]2x Blastodacna hellerella [NFY]1x Lozotaenia forsterana [NFY]1x Argyresthia albistria [NFY]1x Gypsonoma dealbana [NFY]1x Phycita roborella [NFY]1x Spilonota ocellana [NFY]1x Udea prunalis4x Acleris schalleriana1x Aphelia paleana4x Udea olivalis2x Aphomia sociella3x Aleimma loeflingiana2x Tortrix viridana1x Crambus pascuella6x Chrysoteuchia culmella3x Ditula angustiorana2x Eurrhypara hortulata1x Hedya pruniana2x Celypha striana2x Epiblema uddmanniana4x Celypha lacunana1x Archips podana3x Scoparia ambigualis1x Epiphyas postvittana1x Ephestia parasitella unicolorella2x Dipleurina lacustrata3x Emmelina monodactyla
