T.min: 9.7 Celsius. It remained fairly mild throughout, with a light southerly wind.

T.min: 11.1 Celsius. Still some 'mizzle' but more windy.

The only moth of note was Juniper Carpet (confirmed by the VC30 recorders) following the three recorded during October of last year.

SP9326: 14/10/12 - Roll out the Red-green Carpet

A dire month so far - four sessions yielding ten moths of four species - so rather pleased to snag a new* macro for the garden - Red-green Carpet, seen only once before in TL0024 on 18/10/10.

1760* Red-green Carpet

A dullish-brown larva, noted occasionally over the last couple of weeks, was finally photographed and identified as the Dot Moth. The larva is polyphagous but was feeding on an unknown plant whose origin may be explained by the fact that it is growing under the birdseed feeder!

2155 Dot Moth

SP9326: 12/07/10 - 'Dated' Rustic

Whilst reviewing images from 2010, I came across one that I (presumably) could not identify at the time without further research - and then completely forgot about it. This time, however, with the experience gained over the intervening years, I was sure it was another Dotted Rustic. After confirmation by Mrs M. Banthorpe of Lower Stondon, it now supercedes the one taken on 10/07/12 as being my first garden record. Remarkably, the records are only two days apart ! Now i'm off to check those 2011 images . . .

T.min 10.0 Celsius.

The rather stocky Bulrush Wainscot was moth-of-the-night, this follows one taken in early August last year. Otherwise, with numbers and variety dwindling, we are down to illustrating 'forms' - Acleris variegana f.cirrana provided a (brief) moment of puzzlement.

Much less windy, but with clear skies the temperature dipped. A nice surprise was an Autumnal Rustic which was new* for the garden. Classed as an uncommon moth in VC30, with a local distribution, it is more likely encountered along the Greensand Ridge.

New* for the garden was Caloptilia syringella, the larval foodplant is Privet or Lilac. The moth was a bit worn and refused to sit still for camera work - wing length around 5.5mm. Boy, am I looking forward to picking up a new pair of prescription glasses next week !
Eudonia angustea was new for year. Flounced Rustic still dominate. Silver Y continue to show. Up to ten wasps in or on the trap for the last few nights.

T.min: 10.3 Celsius

Cooler nights now resulting in a much reduced catch. However, this has enabled one to clear the August back-log of data entry and blog work, which ultimately makes it simpler to send in the recordset to the BNHS at year-end. How do those cope with multiple traps/sites, eh?
