Last night produced the best trap of the year with over 160 individuals of 64 species. The star of the show was a lovely Vestal.
I was stumped by not one but two unfamiliar Knothorn species. I used Obsidentify to help me reach a conclusion. Not on the spreadsheet, the distinctively marked Euzophera pinguis.And Acrobasis consociella.A tiny moth looks like Batia lunaris. It seems to be the commonest and most widespread of three similar looking species.And finally the micro-micromoth.It's probably Stigmella salicis, it's common, looks like the picture and associates with willows which is even more common in Burry Port than Leylandii!
