A moderate trap produced surprising numbers of pyralids, apart from the usual Garden Grass Veneer, H. sinuella and my first Crambus pascuella and Udea prunalis of the year, I had a couple of less common visitors and a new moth for the garden.
I have a couple of Anania coronata most years but they are very uncooperative subjects and I had to take this shot where it chose to rest. New for the garden was its close relative, Anania lancealis.Maybe the lancealis element refers to its long forewings.Finally a species I think I have only had once before, perhaps blown from the reeds on the old canal or Burry Port field.
It's not a Buttoned Snout (curses), but Chilo phragmitella.
There`s a good chance that you`ll also get Calomotropha paludella at Burry Port, so keep an eye out.
