JUNE 2009, GARDEN TRAP ARCHIVE

A run of warm days with cooler clear nights and an influx of migrant Painted Lady butterflies raised expectations, however a reasonable catch in the UV trap but still no migrant moths. 6 Common Marbled Carpet, 5 Heart & Dart, 4 Treble Lines and Pale Tussock, 3 Garden Carpet, 2 Willow Beauty, Double-striped Pug, Angle Shades and Shuttle-shaped Dart. Also recorded singles of Green Pug, Flame Carpet, Poplar Hawk-moth, Setaceous Hebrew Character (photo below), Flame Shoulder, Alder Moth (Patch year tick), Ingrailed Clay, Shears (Patch year tick) and Tawny Marbled Minor.
