Garden Moth ticks

A very uncooperative bunch of moths that proved difficult to photograph but among them were several firsts for the garden. One may be Roeslerstammia erxlebella, which has only 4 records for the vice-county before this year. But another moth'er recently started trapping a little closer to Peterborough has trapped several so far this year.

Others are The Phoenix, Double lobed, Aethes rubigana and Ebulea crocealis. Dark Umber was only the second garden record.

Ebulea crocealis
