Last night produced my best catch of the year - still failing to break the ton at 98 but achieving 51 species. An interesting tortrix which I think was Epiblema cirsiana sprang into the air as I lifted the camera to my eye. Crambus Pascuella, Eudonia Mercurella and Red-barred Tortrix made a first appearance for the year.
Two of my favourite scarcer noctuids turned up for the first time in 2021.
White-line Dart and Marbled Green.
I also caught two small, brown, boring micros which I realised were probably the same species.
I know I pledged not to post Brytrophas but...are these terella?
Finally a first Momphid for the year:
Mompha proprinquinella.



Those Bryotropha look too contrasting for terella - given your coastal location they could be various different species and I'm afraid really need dissection for ID.
