Recent observations

I've had quite a lot of species so far this year, largely by trapping in Whitchurch, in the south of VC36. The highlight so far from there came in on Sunday night, a Red Sword-grass, which laid a lot of eggs in the pot. These are getting sent off to be reared by someone with more experience than me in these matters.
My garden trap in Hereford has been quiet so far, with a couple of Scarce Tissue on Tuesday the highlight so far. One of these was very pale, but not worn at all. I've not seen this illustrated.
