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!

1260* Cydia splendana

I have used the battery powered 15w actinic Heath trap on ten occasions over the last two years at this site. The 'Ratface' Skinner pulls in more moths, but it's mains powered and thus has only been used in the garden (and in a Cornish garden). Still, the Heath does a job, and not surprisingly four of the species were newly  self-caught moths for the site.

The 'best' of the modest catch was The Gothic - an uncommon moth with a local distribution - 95 records in the database.
