Moth Trap 26th June 2014 – overnight

The 7th Trap of the year and despite overnight drizzle and rain, just under 30 species with several new ones for the year and a new micro for the garden – Teleiodes vulgella. A good year for Elephant Hawkmoth as another three in the trap, taking the months total to a dozen, the most I’ve caught in a season so far. A total of 26 species in no particular order.
