Minimum temperature: 8.6 Celsius.
As with the last few nights it was quiet - most of the moths arrived before 01:00. It is only my third season and new moths are expected each night - but not always realised ! So, after an hour of research on one tortricid, Epinotia nisella was identified as new* for the garden. A variable moth, this individual has a broad, orange mark halfway down the forewing (form decorana). What I have noticed is the very fine dark vermiculations, towards the termen, on many of the images.
A closer look at some of the commoner Crambinae - well... those that turned up in the trap last night !
