[0315] Phyllonorycter harrisella

Description:

Welcome Wetland WandererAnother warm and muggy night on Sunday night (A bit behind with reports!) and yet another opportunity to trap...when will these warm and sultry evenings end? Possibly tomorrow with clearing skies forecast but with such high daytime temperatures still on the cards the forecasters are still suggesting minimums of 14 degrees all week.Easily the best moth of the night was a pristine Silky Wainscot, a bit of a shock really. Is it a primary migrant or a wanderer, I think I will go with the latter.Another good moth for the garden was a beautiful Bordered Pug.I also managed to get the magnifying glass out and pot up a tiny micro moth that turned out to be a first for me Bucculatrix ulmella.Conobathra repandana was also nice to see, as I missed out on one last year having previously seen one on the 17th August 2012Rhyacionia buoliana and Eucosma obumbratana also boosting the garden list.Catch Report - 20/07/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Silky Wainscot [NFG]1x Bordered Pug [NFG]1x Least Yellow Underwing [NFG]1x Dusky Sallow [NFY]1x Oak Hook-tip [NFY]2x Ruby Tiger [NFY]2x Black Arches3x Bright-line Brown-eye1x Brimstone Moth2x Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing1x Buff Arches3x Cabbage Moth1x Clay2x Clouded Silver1x Common Emerald 2x Common Footman8x Common Rustic4x Dark Arches35x Dot Moth1x Double Square-spot4x Dun-bar1x Early Thorn1x Flame Shoulder2x Garden Carpet 1x Green Pug1x Heart & Club3x Heart & Dart2x July Highflyer1x Large Yellow Underwing4x Least Carpet2x Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing2x Lesser Yellow Underwing1x Maple Prominent3x Maple Pug1x Marbled Beauty1x Mottled Beauty2x Nut-tree Tussock1x Pale Mottled Willow1x Pebble Prominent1x Peppered Moth2x Privet Hawk-moth1x Red Twin-spot Carpet20x Riband Wave1x Rustic4x Scalloped Oak1x Shuttle-shaped Dart1x Silver-Y1x Slender Brindle1x Small Emerald1x Small Fan-footed Wave2x Smoky Wainscot1x Spectacle1x Straw Dot3x Uncertain3x Willow Beauty3x Yellow-tailMicro Moths 1x Bucculatrix ulmella [NEW!]1x Eucosma obumbratana [NFG]1x Rhyacionia buoliana [NFG]1x Conobathra repandana [NFY]1x Phyllonorycter harrisella [NFY]1x Pammene fasciana [NFY]1x Bryotropha affinis1x Bryotropha terrella1x Eurrhypara hortulata2x Argyrotaenia ljungiana1x Celypha striana1x Coleophora sp2x Aphomia sociella1x Emmelina monodactyla1x Argyesthia goedartella1x Acleris schalleriana2x Yponomeuta evonymella1x Agriphila straminella1x Cameraria ohridella1x Batia unitella1x Acleris forsskaleana10x Plutella xylostella3x Oegoconia sp4x Pleuroptya ruralis1x Tischeria ekebladella1x Evergestis forficalis1x Orthopygia glaucinalis1x Aphelia paleana1x Hofmannophila pseudospretella20x Endotricha flammealis1x Clepsis consimilana3x Spilonota ocellana1x Phycita roborella2x Udea prunalis1x Pandemis corylana1x Amblyptilia acanthadactyla1x Trachycera suavella1x Aphelia paleana5x Eudonia mercurella1x Ditula angustiorana10x Chrysoteuchia culmella5x Dipleurina lacustrata1x Carcina quercana
