For the last couple days, all garden moths have been over-shadowed by the appearance of a very interesting looking Mocha in the garden trap back on the 29th August. It shows all the features of the rare immigrant Jersey Mocha, and would be a first record for Surrey. I'm just waiting to send the moth off to Graham Collins, and hopefully it's true identity will be determined very soon so watch this space!
In the meantime, here are a few moths from the second half of August...
Oak Processionary, in better condition than the first a few weeks ago. Caught on 23rd...
Angle-shades, only my second ever...
This stunning
Ypsolopha sequella was caught on the 18th...
A tiny micro moth,
Stenolechia gemmella, caught on the 21st...
