Montpelier Station!

Not too much to report this morning other than a probable Leaf-cutter Bee on the far side of the tracks and a Small White butterfly which was too far away to photograph.
An exceedingly distant Leaf-cutter Bee

This morning the moth trap produced 7 Dark Arches, 6 Heart and Dart, 1 Rustic/Uncertain, 1 Large Yellow Underwing, 1 Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing, 1 Clay and the micro-moth Chrysoteuchia culmella. Additional guests in the trap included a Common Wasp and the Caddisfly Mystacides longicornis which looks the same species as the one I caught last week.
