I have just two records of Merveille du Jour from the garden - singles c9 days apart in 2009, none before that and none since. The lack of mature oaks within sight of the garden will not help. So, when I potted one up from the trap last night I was well chuffed. Even more so when I found another in the trap this morning - albeit that one was missing antennae for some reason.
Most of the rest of the autumnal stuff that has turned up over the last few
days is brown or grey.
Beaded Chestnut
Juniper Carpet
Red-line Quaker
Satellite
Acleris sparsana
Feathered Thorn
Dark Chestnut
Green-brindled Crescent
I did get out today looking for more leaf mines, and found a good selection
along with a few mildews, rusts and galls. A lot of it sorted and ready to add
to records but still plenty to go at.
