A muggy and drizzly nightNot last night, but the previous night, after a nice warm day and highs of nigh on 23 degrees, the sky clouded over as I was just debating whether to run the trap on the third consecutive night...I did indeed as the conditions looked perfect.A few more additions to the garden year list, Slender Pug and Teleiodes vulgella was the pick of the bunch.Ingrailed Clay seems to have stopped now and Dark Arches is probably going to increase now, Bright-line Brown-eye still having a cracking year and 5 examples of Common White Wave is the most I have ever recorded in one trap before.Also a second brood Engrailed was found on the side of the trap, the slightly early date of this second brood could suggest a third brood may be recorded in August.Also of interest, I haven't recorded Pandemis cerasana or heparana this year yet (both recorded last year) but I got my first corylana last night, suggesting I may have missed these two common species this year.Will try trapping again tonight, after a break last night (cool and clear)Catch Report - 17/06/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Slender Pug [NFY]1x Double Square-spot [NFY]4x Dark Arches3x Dot Moth1x Green Pug2x Freyer's Pug2x Large Yellow Underwing3x Common Footman1x Engrailed 2x Flame Shoulder 12x Mottled Rustic 22x Heart & Dart1x Poplar Hawk-moth1x Flame2x Grey Pug 2x Light Emerald 2x Marbled Minor2x Green Silver-lines 2x Garden Carpet 7x Brown Rustic 1x Vine's Rustic1x Clouded Silver1x Clouded Border1x Spectacle1x Maiden's Blush1x Orange Footman5x Common White Wave1x Common Swift1x Mottled Beauty6x Bright-line Brown-eye8x Uncertain1x Pale Mottled Willow1x Large NutmegMicro Moths 1x Epiblema uddmanniana [NFY]1x Endotricha flammealis [NFY]1x Amblyptilia acanthadactyla [NFY]1x Blastobasis lacticolella [NFY]1x Archips xylosteana [NFY]1x Pandemis corylana [NFY]1x Teleiodes vulgella [NFY]5x Tortrix viridana2x Dipleurina lacustrata1 Emmelina monodactyla 1x Epiphyas postvittana 4x Celypha lacunana1x Hedya nubiferana 1x Udea olivalis1x Udea prunalis 3x Aphomia sociella 4x Aleimma loeflingiana 3x Chrysoteuchia culmella 3x Scoparia ambigualis

Last night Roger and I ran 2 traps ( 1x 125w MV Robinson and 80w Actinic Skinner trap) at Hay Wood in Hemel Hempstead. We also ran 3 traps at Gadesprings just down the road ( 1x 160w MBT Robinson, 1x 125w MV Robinson and a 22w Actinic)We set up the Gadesprings traps first running off the external power supply and then drove to Hay Wood to setup the remaining 2 traps, as we were setting up the heavens opened and we had a downpour, the rain stopped but then continued through the night getting heavier as we left at around 11pm although it was still a surprising 13 degrees even at midnight.The moths were initially flooding in, but the initial flurry soon stopped by about 10pm.The best moth without a doubt was a single Semioscopsis steinkelleriana, which was a new moth for both of us.Also it was nice to see Water Carpet doing so well.In total at Hay wood we managed 55 moths of 16 species.At Gadesprings we managed 23 moths of 10 species.3 species that we did not get at the wood but were at Gadesprings were Clouded Drab, Brindled Pug and Powdered Quaker.Full list belowHay wood - Hemel Hempstead - 8.30pm til 11pmMacro moths1x Twin-spotted Quaker2x Small Quaker2x March Moth10x Engrailed3x Common Quaker10x Water Carpet1x Chestnut3x Hebrew Character1x Early Thorn (huge female)2x Purple Thorn1x Double-striped Pug1x Early GreyMicro moths1x Semioscopsis steinkelleriana [NEW!]2x Agonopterix heracliana12x Diurnea fagella3x Agonopterix arenellaGadesprings - Hemel Hempstead - 8pm til 11.30pmMacro Moths4x Hebrew Character1x Brindled Pug3x Early Grey7x Common Quaker1x Small Quaker3x Double-striped Pug1x Powdered Quaker1x Clouded Drab1x Early ThornMicro moths1x Agonopterix arenellaCarabus nemoralis was a new Beetle for me.Thanks to David for allowing us to trap on the Boxmoor's Trusts land.
