Latest Dissection Results

Mike Bailey and Derek Lee have very kindly completed all the dissections from Little Oak Lodge for June and July. The results are very interesting with a few new species including the Nationally Scarce B, Dichrorampha flavidorsana aka Orange-spot Tansy moth, Aethes cnicana aka Thistle Straw, Coleophora mayrella, Dioryctria sylvestrella, Aproaerema larseniella, Bactra robustana, Coleophora lutipennella, Epermenia chaerophyllella, Metzneria lappella, Coleophora follicularis, Parornix anglicella, Agonopterix propinquella, Coleophora alcyonipennella and Coleophora deauratella. 

Now on 617 for the garden and 529 for the year. In the 7-8 years at the Old Vicarage I got up to 622 moth species so to get 617 here in just over a single year is pretty good comparitively.
