A group trapped Merryfield and Staple Common last night. No Small Eggar or Dotted Chestnut but Staple Common had another first record in the shape of a Red Sword-grass. On Thursday night I also had Ypsolopha mucronella at home. This Spindle feeder has an interesting resting position with its antennae flat to the ground and its abdomen pointing skyward in the manner of Goldenrod Brindle.
