The past 2 days 34 moth species have visited our balcony. A new moth appeared, Bulrush Veneer, a scarce Sussex species -we have bulrushes 1000 metres away in Mewsbrook Park. 2 other micromoths made their first appearance in the moth trap although I have seen them elsewhere: Yellow Oak Button and White Cloaked Shoot. Heart and Darts still dominate, with multiple Buff-tips, Ribald Waves and Brimstone Moths.
The close-up facility on the Olympus TG4 is called 'microscope' for a reason - it focuses up to 1cm and has a tiny depth of field so only gives reasonable results with micromoths. For the rest I am mainly using my phone. I'm exploring the possibility of investing in a new Nikon body to replace the D7100 which is currently at the repair shop awaiting spare parts.
