Description(1720) The Gem (Orthonama obstipata) (9523980215).jpg
A Gem of a new moth! + another new Micro
On Wednesday night, I set-up the trap for the last time until Sunday night, as we are currently having a lovely weekend away.
Although it rained most of the night and the trap was full of wasps come the morning...it was all very much worth it, with my first ever UK Gem, I was so excited to get this moth and am astonished how it got past all of the town and factory lights to end up in the bottom of my trap.
The new Micro was Stenolechia gemmella, thinking it was initially a Carpatolechia species, it turned out to be this pretty species.
