  1. I ran my moth trap for the first time this year. 36 moths of 13 species; the star of the show was a long-awaited first record of The Streamer, but also notable was an Apple Leaf Miner, a full month earlier than my previous earliest record.

  6. Nothing very exciting in the moth trap last night, but I did get a new species of leafhopper, Tremulicerus vitreus (assuming obsidentify IDed it correctly). Maybe the 29th species of leafhopper from the moth trap? Something like that.

  10. Here's another new cocktail to celebrate one of the new moths I had in the garden this year.

    Light Crimson Underwing

    25ml reposado tequila
    25ml Lillet Rosé
    25ml Campari
    1.25ml blue curaçao
    orange twist

    This is obviously just a tequila Negroni with a dash of blue curaçao to push the red towards crimson.

    Clearly it would be barbaric to just use food dye to get the colour, which is why I used Campari and blue curacao, which are just food dye in a convenient booze shaped package.

    Anyway, this was excellent, I might prefer it to a classic Negroni.

  14. A red-letter day at the moth trap, I got Big Blue!

    This is the Clifden Nonpareil or, more prosaically, Blue Underwing.

  18. This bit of madness was in the moth trap this morning. Extraordinary looking thing; actually a kind of lacewing.

    I’ve put a link to a pic of one with its head showing.

  22. I doubled my previous record count of Elephant Hawkmoth in the moth trap last night! (i.e. there were two of them)

    Batrachedra pinicolella/confusella was new for the garden but needs dissection to be identified and I fumbled the process of getting it into a pot. Bad news for my garden list, good news for that individual moth, I guess.

  27. The right answer was on there btw, it was a Lime Hawkmoth caterpillar. When they are ready to pupate some caterpillars lose their distinctive colours and get sort of puffy, so it's not the most classic looking example, but it sure as hell isn't an earthworm or a slug, let alone a toad.

  32. A respectable night in the moth trap: I make it 76 moths of 32 species.
    Brown Scallop was the best record, only my second.
    Glamour provided by a couple of Hawkmoths, Elephant and Poplar, and Blue-bordered Carpet.
    Mild further interest provided by a Dun-bar which is my earliest record by 11 days. Whoo, so exciting.

  37. The other interesting arrival was this leafhopper, which seems to be Hishimonus hamatus, an East Asian species with few UK records as far as I can tell (but more in mainland Europe).
