Rye Harbour Moths
29th July 2008, TuesdayAn excellent few days in the Lime Kiln moth trap (even last night despite the thunderstorm), with an average of around 60 species a night, the majority either Dark Arches, Dusky Sallow or Smoky Wainscot. Highlight among a wide range of notables was the first record of the rare micro Monochroa palustrella (below) at Rye Harbour for over 10 years (and only the fifth overall).
