Hurrah - another garden tick!

Total catch 43 of 20sp.
(125W MV 19 of 12sp., 80W actinic 24 of 15sp.)

Argyresthia cupressella 1
First for year (in garden):

Argyresthia cupressella - actually a County and British tick aswell if I could be arsed to keep lists for them.


Crambus lathoniellus - in real life the back end was also in focus.


Small Square-spot - this species appears to be cyclic in it's appearances in my garden.
