That's another year garden moth trapping over with the Robinson being retired into the shed. This is my 16th year trapping here. I've still got records to add to my MapMate database but I think all new species are in.
Several new species arrived this year, something that always surprises me how new moths keep being added after all this time.
Caloptilia honoratella 1 , a First for Northumberland. Always good to get a county first.
Plutella porrectella 2, nice, unexpected too.
Coleophora alcyonipennella Clover Case-bearer 2 only 3 previous county records.
Palpita vitrealis 2 a great year for these in the county. Only 17 records.
Agriphila latistria 1 Only 14 records of this crambid.
Odontosia carmelita Scarce Prominent 1 One of my most wanted moths, a fine fresh one too.
Heliothis peltigera Bordered Straw 1 Everyone was catching these bar me, so was pleased with a nice fresh one.
Dryobotodes eremita Brindled Green 1, less than 100 ever in the county all further south.
Mythimna vitellina Delicate 2 Only 25 records for the county.
