Oncocera semirubella

130 moths of 33 species, a pleasing result for the garden trap in September, and with the warm southerly winds, some good moths.

The highlight was a Clifden Nonpareil, but the only NFG was Oncocera semirubella. Also Scarce Bordered Straw (2), Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing, Turnip Moth (2), Pearly Underwing, Palpita vitrealis (2), Large Wainscot, Small Dusty wave, and a late Yellow-tail.

Scarcer than Scarce

Only about 20 moths in the garden trap this morning, half of them LYUs, but this Bordered Straw was nice. Also Azalea Leaf miner, Rusty Dot Pearl and Rush Veneer.
