The last couple of weeks have been good for the garden moth trapping. Not so much numbers but a few interesting species have turned up...including a full Northumberland first and a VC68 North Northumberland first.
 |
| Agriphila latistria was not even on my radar but it stood out from the ubiquitous tristella... |
 |
| Beautiful China Mark, only my second in the garden after one last August. |
 |
| Star of the show, Caloptilia honoratella maybe the most northerly UK yet recorded? A first for Northumberland too. |
 |
| Clay Triple Lines, 3rd garden record after singles in 2020 and 2022. |
 |
| The Crescent. I caught a few of these between 2010 and 2014, 5 to be precise, then nothing for 11 years until last week... |
 |
| Chevron. Not annual in my garden so please to get one. The last was 2023. |
 |
| Like Buses, none for 11 years then 2 in a week...The Crescent. |
 |
| The Vestal my 4th garden record |
 |
| Brindled Green, My first in the garden a rare species in the county. |
 |
| This will have you southerners smirking. Vine's Rustic. Abundant doon sooth, but this spectacular beast is the first for vc68 North Northumberland ! |
