New Moths Found on 1 June 2008

Forward to 15 June 2008 moth page, back to 24 May 2008 moth page, to general moths page.

A warm Saturday followed by a cooler, damper Sunday.  However, there was an increase in moths, including several Setaceous Hebrew Characters, Heart and Darts and Uncertain or Vine's Rustics then one each of Small Magpie, Shears, Shuttle-shaped Dart, Common Carpet, Garden Carpet, a Buff Ermine, our first Bright-line Brown-eye of the year and a Hedya of some sort. 

Those worth photographing (including two new micros) were:

• the ever amazing Pale Tussock (previously photographed here),
• a Scorched Wing (previously photographed here),
• a Brown Rustic (previously photographed here),
• an Epiblema cynosbatella,
• a Celypha lacunana (previously photographed here),
• and a Crambus lathoniellus, which we've caught before but never photographed.

Many thanks to Mike Wall for spontaneously e-mailing us to sort out the Crambus and the Epiblema (which we though was an Epinotia bilunana).
