1000 + 1 (Lincolnshire)

Slower progress made through August, again the moth trap adding most of the records with some rarities amongst them. Probably the scarcest moth I have ever seen was a Ypsolopha lucella, second Lincolnshire record and not many recorded anywhere in Britain. I am going to further research this species as I cannot find any recent records from any county un-less someone knows different. The 1000 species was a Tortrix moth Epinotia caprana another quite rare moth quickly following an Emerald Damselfly only the second I have seen locally. Another garden first was a Large Ear, I find that you need to dissect every Ear Type to be sure of the identification.

Started recording a few of the leaf-miners, looks as if it will be poor year as I yet to see one on Birch yet.

I have really enjoyed the challenge and certainly expanded my knowledge of other species especially the Hoverflies.

Will keep on going to the end of the year and hope to record 600 moth species from the garden.
