T.min: 9.6 Celsius.

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.
