A new Macro and a new Micro from the back garden Not as spectacular as recent standards and with fewer moths this morning all was not lost though as I found a County 3rd? Toadflax Brocade sitting on the wall behind my trap. The other two records are from Hertford (2009) and Bayfordbury in (2010), a welcome surprise. I have only included species that weren't present in last nights trap. As if a new Macro for my records wasn't enough. I managed a new Micro aswell, Argyresthia albistria. I gave the moths a night off last night as it has been torrential here! Back to trapping tonight as it looks to be a warm night again.
