Is It Summer?

7 (at least) micros last night - much more like summer.
 




Several crambids including 4 x chrysoteuchia culmella and 1x crambus perlella.
This Ringed China Mark (1348) was rather nice though the males are much  more attractive.







1498 A. punctidactyla (aka Brindled Plume) was a first here and 1341 E. lineola which I thought (hoped!!) was real rarity - I noted from Mapmate that 22 have been seen in Pembs. from the 1st in 1997 to the last in 2007.
Other "regulars" were 1063 Celypha striana and 1392 Udea olivalis .

About Time Too!




A better night for a change with 1392 Udea olivalis, 1390 Udea prunalis (pictured), 1293 chrysoteuchia culmella and 1063 celypha striana identified.
