New micros in Burry Port

 The warm weather brought the most successful trap of the year with nearly 50 species and 139 individuals. There were a number of micros in the trap, and I eventually resorted to Obsidentify to firm up my conclusions.

This rather nondescript, relatively large micro, turns out to be Common Zebra Moth, apparently named for its caterpillars. I suspect it wandered over from Pembrey Burrows or even the Gower.

Tortrixes with white dots on their backs abound, and I had two of them. Again the magic app suggested they were both the same species - Epiblema costipunctana - a new moth for the garden.

Other goodies included 25 Willow Beauty and FFY Double Square Spot.
