Description: Another mooch around the garden..Yielded a freshly hatched Green-veined White, almost above where the Field Mustard plant was last year. I can only assume that it used this as it's food plant last year. Also a single Anthophila fabriciana (which seems to be an annual occurrence of one individual) observed on the Nettles that I left to grow at the end of the garden. Another micro, a very pretty Argyresthia spinosella was potted up as it tried to escape over to next door's garden (moths seem to have a preference for the other side!) The best shot I could get was a lid shot. 3 Adela reamurella were also enjoying themselves and basking in the warm sunshine on one of our shrubs. Date: 4 May 2014, 13:05.
