First up a completely knackered looking tortrix that isn't actually dead despite appearances! From what's left of it, and from experience of this species, I'm 100% sure that this is a garden tick Cochylis hybridella - one I've been expecting.
Cochylis hybridella
682nd garden moth, 364th micro, 107th tortrix
I thought this one was also a garden tick, but on checking I've had a couple before on 31/05/2008 and 19/06/2013.
Bactra lancealana
And this one, if confirmed, will be a full British tick! From an 80W trap left on the front of the house last night in full view of the neighbours plum tree.
Post-script: Grapholita funebrana - confirmed by gen. det.
Last night also turned out to be good for migrants for a change ......
Scarce Bordered Straw - one of two
Third garden record to light, with singles on 23/09/2006 and 05/09/2009.
Rusty Dot Pearl - again one of two
Dark Sword-grass - second so far this year
Silver Y - not seeing many of these so far this year
And here's some fillers whilst I'm posting.
Gracillaria syringella (name change ....)
Six-striped Rustic
