Description

Blown in on the breeze..a new garden moth!

I was very pleased this morning to find a tiny Elachista clinging to the outside of the Actinic box trap, I instantly recognised it from trapping it and sweeping it during the day, at nearby Bramfield Woods, a moth of damp woodland and riverbanks favouring 'Sedgy' areas. To get Elachista rufocinerea in the garden completely away from suitable habitat was fantastic. It must have got blown in last night on the breeze.

It makes it the 731st species for my garden here in Stevenage, North Herts.

Again, it was cold this morning, 4.5c just isn't good for my garden.

Nevertheless 12 moths of 6 species turned up, mostly the usual early Spring species, amongst them though was a new for year Lunar Marbled Brown, a scarce moth for my garden and one I trap in big numbers (40+) in local woodland.

Garden species count for 2020 now upto 59.

12 moths of 9 species to 40w Actinic Trap
