Trip to Las Descargues 8th August - 18th August - Micro Moths

Here is the second post containing all (or nearly all) of the Micro Moth species that I recorded on my 10 night stay to Las Descargues. The smaller moths were quite thin on the ground most nights and with lots of bigger bulkier moths crashing around in the traps it made it harder to actually pot them up and a few escaped at times!

I still have a few for identification as always but so far the Micro Moth species list stands at 102 species.

Species highlighted in red are completely new to me.

All of the Macro and the Micro Moth species that I took photos of can now be viewed on my flickr page HERE
