Number of species recorded since I started mid-April is 58. Number of individuals in & around the trap in June is 159. Most common is Dark Arches (15), closely followed by Buff Ermine, Lg Yellow U/wing, and Ingrailed Clay. There you go, a few stats to ponder on.

Alucita hexadactyla in the garden this evening. Food plant is honeysuckle, but they seem to like my peas. Easy to ID as it's the only member of the family in Britain....not only that it looks just like it's photo in the book...very obliging.
