Heatwave micros and a micro macro

I normally struggle to catch micros in the garden trap. I'm not sure why but the number and variety haven't been amazing over the years.

However, this recent hot spell has brought quite a few new ones to the garden including a few lifers for me.

Anarsia innoxiella

Zeiraphera ratzeburgiana

Gypsonoma minutana

Sciotia adelphella
Gypsonoma dealbana

and not a micro but just as small, a Kent Black Arches Meganola albula


Numbers have been spectacular and the numbers of grass moths are beyond count. Long may it continue!
