At last, after half of the year gone the moths finally returned to the moth trap with a count that was at least triple the best numbers so far and along with that also one or two new for garden species which I still can find in the books so will no doubt need some help. I didnt record everthing as time was pressing but would suggest about 30 to 35 moths were in the trap. As well as the moths being added below there were 3 Scorched Wing,3 Triple Lines, 1 Iron Prominent, about 100 Diamond back moths,a few Common Pug,1 Common Marbled Carpet and others I cant remember that have been seen before.
Here are some of the catch.
I am told Grapholita lobarzewskii is a scarce and local species with few British records with the larva feeding on plum which makes me hope the plum tree in the garden has played a part. The net result of this catch means two more micros for the website namely 49.330 & 49.356.
