SP9326: 26/07/11

1804* Barred Rivulet

A minimum of 13.5 Celsius, and a fair catch.

Barred Rivulet was new* for the garden - an uncommon resident with a local distribution. It can remain as a pupa for up to five years! Long expected additions were Wormwood Pug and Shaded Broad-bar, the latter was in a hurry to be somewhere other than in front of a camera!

1201* Eucosma cana

1260* Cydia splendana

1329* Donacaula forficella

1732* Shaded Broad-bar

1830* Wormwood Pug

1183 Epiblema foenella
