Quite a nice surprise for me when I found a (female) Dotted Border (Agriopis marginaria) this being the fist for me and in my garden, as the females are wingless, so you have to look for them around bushes i.e. Blackthorn and Hawthorn etc, and be lucky, (Gadget)

The first moths of the new year have arrived at long last - a Satellite the night before last then an Early Moth last night. The Early Moth is the first one I've ever caught - I've seen a couple one via old Hairy plus another that I found in the old wooden bird hide at Pegwell one day many years ago. A few insects have been showing up the past couple of days - a Bumblebee and a Honey Bee in the back garden plus the occasional midge and Beetle coming to the MV's at night. (Phil M)
