Crescent (Helotropha leucostigma)

Marbled Clover (Heliothis viriplaca)

Star-wort (Cucullia asteris)

I have been trapping moths in my garden since 2001 so it is not often I get any new macros. Three new species in the last few weeks is a nice surprise.

... on Speyside Northern Damselflies were plentiful at the usual pond near Loch Garten. At a new site, for me, near Grantown there were plenty of Northern Brown Argus and Dark Green Fritillary.

Adonis Blue

Yesterday had a successful trip into Cambridgeshire for Small Blue and Adonis Blue. Small Blue was easy to find at Magog Down and present in good numbers. Adonis Blue at Newmarket Devil's Dyke was more of an effort to find in breezy and mostly overcast conditions but eventually I found at least 3.
