Just two from over 90 species recorded in the garden trap last night.

| Plum Fruit Moth, Grapholita funebrana |
I had to smile when I saw this Plum Fruit Moth in the trap this morning because, although I rarely see the adult moth, the larvae normally spoil about 10% of our plums each year. This year is different however as we have no developing fruits due to the very cold April so the moths will have to look elsewhere.

| Aethes rubigana |
I was pleased to see Aethes rubigana again, first recorded here in 2015, hopefully attracted to my introduced Burdock plants. It is probably breeding in the seedheads though I have not wanted to disturb them so far.
