SP9326: 28/07/11

I'm using the Heath 15w for the next few days - this means less moths which suits current work commitments.

Two new* micros were Lobesia abscisana and Grapholita janthinana - although the former could be 1079 Piniphila bifasciana , which was caught on the 9th July 2011, so I reserve the right to change my mind !

A couple of Common Rustic agg. variations are also presented.

937 Agapeta hamana

974 Argyrotaenia ljungiana

1108* Lobesia abscisana
or
1079   Piniphila bifasciana ?

1245* Grapholita janthinana

2343x Common Rustic agg.

Quite cool and breezy - a minimum temperature of 9 Celsius.
