SP9326: 01/08/11

The year marches on and a small heatwave saw another warm night, with a minimum of 15.5 Celcius.

A large catch by chez moi standards - close attention to the trap in to the small hours, combined with an early rise near dawn, resulted in a good selection of micros.

Six new* moths for the garden were as follows:

Hiding under the last egg tray, and the sole new macro, was Bulrush Wainscot.
What appears to be Argyresthia semifusca - which i'll double-check with DVM - showing a hint of the characteristic slight purplish tinge; the larvae feed on hawthorn and rowan of which both are close by.
The white head/palps of Cochylis dubitana separate this moth from two other similar species.
Rhomboid Tortrix which I'd last seen in TL0024 a week back.
A long overdue Gold Triangle was very flighty - but complimented the wallpaper !
I'd spent some time identifying (unsuccessfully) Eudemis profundana - only to see one staring out of the page while surfing Trent's blog - thanks Trent !
