John's Phyllocnistis saligna means we now have records from five 10km squares (ST22, ST32, ST42, ST33, ST43). I wonder if it occurs north of the Poldens as well.

There are still a few common migrants trickling in, I caught a Gem at Thurlbear last night. There were also two Figure of Eight. This is one of a few species that are frequent just south of Taunton but missing on the north side where I live. Others include Frosted Green, Great Prominent and Orange Moth. Blomer's Rivulet and Large Nutmeg used to be in this category too but have now turned up in my garden once. Even in a suburban situation it seems that most of the local species will be recorded eventually.
