40/23 VC16 Black Rustic and Feathered Ranunculus NFY. Some notable micros - 2 Monopis crocicapitella and 2 that I'm not sure. The darker one Blastobasis adustella maybe? Earlier this year I had a Blastobasis Phycidella specimen confirmed by CR and I keep getting them, obsidentify tells me #teammoth

Early promise with a Great Oak Beauty and male Ghost Moth on the outside of my VC11 trap did not continue. Only 62:40 with little else of note, Monopis crocicapitella was the 2nd of the year as was an Ethmia dodecea. Another silver-y the only presumed migrant #migrantmothuk #teammoth
