Notable net gains

Have been very lucky with the net during daytime searching of hedgerows and chalk grassland close to home this week with a good range of species added to the year list.

Highlights were two that were new for me, a very pleasant surprise indeed:

Aethes williana
Aethes williana

Elachista subocellea
Elachista subocellea

Who needs a light trap eh? (well I do of course, but it's good to use an array of methods as there are many species you'll never see if you restrict your activities).
