It's always a pleasure to see a new moth and I had a feeling the orange tinted geometer in the trap was something new.
Clay Triple-lines.I also found a visitor from the dunes which turns up once or twice a year - Sand Dart.
I had also potted a small moth and wasn't sure if it was a geometer, noctuid or a larger micro. I assumed at first that it was a worn Least Black Arches, but one look with the hand lens told me it wasn't that - there was a white sub-terminal cross line and obvious brown patches.It could only be Kent Black Arches - a long way from home!
Well done Adam. There are two records of Kent Black Arches in Carms - one > 10 years ago from MoD Pendine and a more recent one from Pembrey Burrows ( N part, I think).
ReplyDeleteThank you Ian, it seems a long way from Kent!
