Finally got a good migrant today, two Scarce Oak Knot-horn Acrobasis tumidana- a first for the farmlands. Also stacks of other new for years and yet to be identified micros. I also went looking for dragonflies and butterflies today by covering the mound and lakes and last night I set up three traps, the heath trap in the Hawthorns on Horse Field and both the big actinic and 125W MV at the obs. I'll update the heatwave Beddington lepidoptera list as soon as I get a chance to catch a breath.
Here's a few pics and tentative identifications. Thanks again to Billy Dykes for helping out!
Scarce Oak Knot-horns (above and below)
Had large numbers of these within the Hawthorns on Horse Filed- maybe Hawthorn Slenders Parornix anglicella. Apparently the parornix group can only be separated by rearing them or with gen det.
Caloptilia cuculipennella
Coleophora sp
Ypsolopha scabrella
Gelechid sp- too worn to identify
Ancylosis oblitella - a much darker specimen the one I had yesterday . A similar dark one below too.
Helcystogramma rufescens (above and below)
Common Clothes Moth
Recurvaria nanella
Bramble Shoot Moth
Another Ancylosis oblitella
Flame Carpet
Small Blood-Vein and another Garden Tiger
Least Yellow Underwing
Small Seraphim
First time I've had Burnet Companion in the trap- usually see them in the meadows so presumably dispersing

The lesser yellow underwing is Least Yellow Underwing.
Hi Edwards- it does say Least Yellow Underwing
Oops, sorry, misread!
