June already!On Sunday night I trapped again after a nice weekend break away.The weather was pretty much perfect with increasing cloud cover and the temperature hovering around high teens as it got dark.Quite a few new for years featured in the catch of a modest amount of moths, given the perfect conditions and time of year. Bucculatrix bechsteinella was a brand new moth for me, a little worn which proved a headache trying to identify.Still a field trip to write up from last night....not enough hours in the day! and again might trap in the garden tonight, if it stays dry long enough that is.Catch Report - 01/06/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths8x Heart & Dart [NFY]1x Straw Dot [NFY] 1x Common White Wave [NFY]3x Common Marbled Carpet1x Buff-tip1x Bright-line Brown-eye1x Brown Rustic1x Flame Shoulder3x Shuttle-shaped Dart11x Nutmeg9x Rustic Shoulder-knot2x Brimstone Moth1x Garden Carpet3x Setaceous Hebrew Character 1x Mottled Pug4x Marbled Minor1x Common Pug4x Ingrailed Clay1x Cabbage Moth2x Tawny Marbled Minor2x Vine's Rustic2x Mottled Rustic1x Silver-Y5x Common SwiftMicro Moths 1x Bucculatrix bechsteinella [NEW!]1x Celypa striana [NFY]1x Ephestia parasitella [NFY]1x Caloptilia robustella [NFY]1x Teleiodes luculella [NFY]1x Hedya pruniana [NFY]1x Celypha lacunana2x Mompha subbistrigella1x Scoparia ambigualis1x Argyresthia spinosella1x Phyllonorycter harrisella1x Epiphyas postvittana1x Adela rufimitrella

A trip down to Dungeness in Kent on Saturday night proved to be the coolest conditions we have experienced for a while, with clear skies, bright moon and misty air coming from the sea. As you can imagine it wasn't great and the moths were few and far between, but I did manage a few new ones for me. Yellow Belle, Pale Grass Eggar, Antler Moth, Celypha cespitana, Aroga velocella and Cynaeda dentalis were all new for me. There are still some Bactra's to confirm and a few unidentified micros to sort out.All in all despite the catastrophic weather I was pleased to pick up some new ones.
