Stigmella anomalella
More than double both the individuals and species in the traps last night compared to Wednesday, with three more yearticks but nothing to get the adrenaline going (it's been a good five years now since any decent autumnal migrants landed in my garden traps). Sadly the Black Rustic was a bit too scuffed to bother photographing.
Total catch 63 of 27sp.

And following a comment from Matt, here's the periodicity plots for my Common Wainscot records:

Interesting you're still getting Common Wainscot. Mine finished a while ago. Red-green Carpet still on the 'to do' list this year.........
I get two distinct broods every year Matt, with the second brood much more numerous and running through to late September and occasionally into early October as well. I'll update this post with the periodicity plots for reference.
Looks like a case of commentators eye. After none since 15/09 I got 2 last night(23/09)
