Summary[edit] Description: A 3rd garden record of Ypsolopha ustella Last night the trap went out again, opting for the 125w MV and 40w Actinic combo which i've got hanging from a projector screen just behind the Robinson Trap (See pic below). The light looks really good against it and hopefully will act as a magnet to moths flying by and also protect the light from shining in our eyes too much in the kitchen! A relatively mild night last night with lows of 9c, in fact it was much like the other day where the temperature rose as the evening progressed. Today looks set to be possibly the warmest day of the year so far at 13 degrees. To the moths.. and there were only two. A Pale Brindled Beauty found this morning on a fence panel 2 metres from the trap (which didn't like the white screen) and a rather nice form that i've never seen before of Ypsolopha ustella, which was potted up at around 10pm (and was sitting on the lit screen!) It is a good one for my garden despite it being a common moth, making it just 3 records in 5 and a half years. 27/01/18 Macro Moths 1x Pale Brindled Beauty Micro Moths 1x Ypsolopha ustella [NFY].
