Nephopterix angustella
Green-brindled Crescent
Eudonia angustea
Agriphila geniculea
Pebble Hook-tip - Always a treat to see one of these even if it is the commonest of the Hook-tips.
Meal Moth - Considered a pest species it is not often found away from barns, warehouses etc - the latter of which are plentiful in Paddock Wood!
Phycita roborella - A reltively common micro.
Argyresthia brockeella - A tiny but dazzling micro (c5mm in length).
Shaded Broad-bar - Widespread and fairly common but hasn't featured on the blog yet.
Cydia splendana - Locally common over much of Britain.
Argyrotaenia ljungiana - Common over much of Britain but found predominantly on heaths, it has two flight periods in the south.
Satin Lutestring - The scarcest of the lutestrings and a nice one to catch up with on a camping trip with my son on a "beavers" camp (scouts).
September Thorn - A quite plain Thorn flying from July to October.
Minor Shoulder-knot - Widespread and reasonably common but prefers damp woodland and heaths.
Large Emerald - Another woodland and heath speciality so unlikely to be encountered in my garden trap.
The Engrailed - Second generation, quite a bit smaller than the first.
Poplar Kitten - To complete the trio of "kittens" on the blog, slightly larger than the very similar Sallow and a very welcome addition to the garden list.
The Phoenix - A large geometer which is well distributed over much of the British Isles but is not particularly common.
Cynaeda dentalis - From UKmoths: "A highly distinctive moth, this species is restricted in Britain to a few coastal localities in the south-east of England, where its preferred seaside habitats such as shingle beaches occur.
Shore Wainscot - A rather pale and worn individual of this strictly coastal species.
Schoenobius gigantella - As the name suggests this is a beast of a micro, such females being up to 46mm. Another coastal speciality.
Mere Wainscot - The Lewington guide suggests there is a population near Sandwich but otherwise the occasional wanderer appears in Kent. Apologies for posting photos "in the pot" but I was under strict instructions not to lose the moth!
