| Small White Wave, Asthena albulata |
On Wednesday I did my transect at Mill Hill where I recorded 3 Green
Hairstreaks, 12 Dingy Skippers and one each of
Grizzled Skipper, Orange-tip, Peacock and Brimstone. I also twice saw an
orange butterfly rush by which did not look like a Comma. I then visited
a site where I saw one
freshly emerged Duke of Burgundy, several Grizzled Skippers, an Orange-tip, Peacock, Brimstone and Small Purple and
Gold micro-moths. A Small White Wave moth also appeared, a first for me. Finally I
checked out Kithurst Meadow where a crowd surrounded a Duke of Burgundy, one of four seen there yesterday. I also saw my first Silver Y moth of the year.
