As well as the Barred Hook-tip, I had this pristine Pod Lover. Also the first of the Poplar HMs, a Rustic Shoulder-knot and a Marbled Coronet, plus the usual suspects for the time of year.

Old Friend Returns
This moth turned up in my polytunnel this morning:
I have recorded this species before, several times, but not for a good few years as far as I remember. Not a common moth so I was very pleased to see it again.
I haven't been trapping this year, so far, but that doesn't mean that I've lost interest!

Mompha divisella
I started trapping last week and had a good number of the usual species for this time of year. The highlight was Mompha divisella. I had this spcies once in 2024.

Blossom Underwing
Amongst the 150 moths in the trap this morning- sounds a lot but 92 were Small Quakers - was this Blossom Underwing.

New moth on my desk!
Not much happening recently so it was a bit of a suprise to find a new moth for me and Abernaint (Mompha divisella) wandering across my desk today!

A smattering of migrants
After a pretty quiet few weeks nice to see a few migrants in this morning's trap along with a handful of seasonal regulars. The highlight was this Palpita vitrealis, other migrants were a single Scarce Bordered Straw and 5 Rusty Dot Pearls.
