Recent emergence of small numbers of teneral Red-veined Darters with six seen yesterday and one today (Douglas Wright pers. comm.).

Night of 5 September. Evidence of continued immigration with 2 Vestal, 4 Palpita vitrealis, 1 Delicate, 4 Silver Y, 1 D. abietella, 3 Rush Veneer, 7 Rusty-dot Pearl and 6 Diamond-back moths.

2 Diamond-backed Moths on the 5th of September might have been migrants. The Large Thorn taken the night before was a local, and the several White-points seen in the past week will also be from the newly-established locally breeding population. Very little evidence of migration here so far this year.
