Hi folks, Having spotted a micro in flight on the way home last night I decided to put the trap out despite it being clear and decidedly cool. Only one moth...
I only caught 5 moths of 3 species but I'm easily pleased. I should have started trapping earlier, as this was my first night of 2009. All I caught were...

A mixed week with some excellent catches earlier in the week and a few mediocre ones towards the end of it. Mottled Grey was new for the garden and the 2 Grey...
Good at the start of the week but tailed off a bit. New garden so bit early to tell if its any good, but certainly much better than old one. Went out tonight...
Hi John That's a good list - looks promising for your new garden! One nice bit of woodland near you is Saw Wood at SE3839. I did some leaf mining there once...
Hi John, I've run an actinic trap a few times in Hetchell wood with varying degrees of success but not for a long time (over 10 years ago). I do remember...
Hi can anyone help with the two micros posted in Thackley Moths. Sorry about the fuzzyness of the first one. I was lying down in the woods trying to get a good...

A single of this species flying on YWT reserve at Allerthorpe Common today. A new one for me, but not sure whether it is a common species or not? Otherwise,...
Hi Dave It is certainly early. It's the second earliest on the database. Jill has the monopoly of early Waved Umbers with three out of the four earliest....
Hi Ian There are very few records, though we found a lot on a couple of occasions we trapped at Ellington Banks at this time of year. It's difficult to tell...
Hi Folks Tony Davis has pointed out that it seems to be a good year nationally for Barred Tooth-striped. This is one of our very few national BAP species and...
