The high early morning temperatures are making photography quite tricky. A number of moths flew out of the trap as soon as I lifted the lid. I did record 57 moths of 15 species so the numbers are continuing to increase. Just 2 new moths for the year:
Yellow-dusted-Cream (Cabera erythemaria)
Dark Metanema (Metanema determinata)
The Thoughtful Apamea (Apamea cogitata), shown below, has just started to appear in the light trap. This is another one of the very common backyard moths. The Flame-shouldered Dart (Ochropleura implecta) was recorded on the 12th June. Normally very active and difficult to photograph no matter what the temperatures.
