Moth Records. 

7725 Menophra japygiaria.

9142 (2408) Small Marbled (Eublemma parva).

I set the trap up for the first time this year on what was a warm still night, staying at about 21 degrees. Up till the time I went to bed the only species seen were 9142 (2408) Small Marbled (Eublemma parva) and 7725 Menophra japygiaria.

Palpita unionalis.

Next morning there were 50+ Small Marbled, a single 6690 Palpita unionalis, 6704 (1400) Antigastra catalaunalis, a couple of 3036 Stibaromacha ratella, two 6619 (1369) Uresiphita gilvata and several more species some awaiting confirmation and some remaining unidentified. Confirmation and Ids arrived from Moth expert Penny Hale down in Malaga Province. With her help 9944 (2172) White Spot (Hadena albimacula), 8128 Idaea belemiata and a probable 6145 Ematheudes punctella were added to the nights catch.
