Winter Highlights from Tintern


Moth-trapping highlights from my mother's (Hazel Mitchell) Tintern garden in January and February were the first county record (and possibly the 2nd Welsh record - thanks Sam) of the impressive Tortricid Acleris logiana on 25th January, and an immigrant Small Mottled Willow Spodoptera exigua on 16th February. The very local Small Brindled Beauty Apocheima hispidaria also appears to be having a good year at this site, with 5 recorded so far this year.
