Visitors to the garden this weekend included the biggest pug I've ever seen:
Also a micro that looks identifiable but which has me stumped:
On the 30th, as well as the Cloaked Pug the trap held FFY Phoenix, Short-cloaked moth, Grapholita funebrana, Phycita roborella and Matilella fusca, perhaps attracted by the fires in Cwm Rheidol:

| Cloaked Pug |
48 macros in total on 28th included Heart and Club, Dingy Shell, Small Yellow Wave (2), Clouded Border, Freyer's Pug and my first Large Emerald. Among a further 35 species of micro were Exoteleia dodecella, Grapholita janthinana, Aethes cnicana, Anania lancealis, Anania coronata and Water Veneer (adopting its usual moth trap pose):
Maybe it isn't Pyla fusca...it's just covered in soot! Sorry ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave you kept the unidentifiable one Simon please?
Simon, have a look at Carpatolechia fugitivella for the mystery moth. Is there any Elm around?
ReplyDeleteCould be! There are certainly elms (wych?) on Plas Crug Avenue, not so far away. Thanks.
