19th May - A first since 1968.....

Ancylis laetana

A good night at Pilmoor with three traps spread out in the woodland, including one next to a small stand of Aspen. This one came up trumps with the first Yorkshire record of Ancylis laetana since 1968. In addition the earliest Yorkshire record of Clay Triple-lines, a new site for Orange Footman, and a selection of other interesting micros.
