An overlooked species

I had them annually at my last house and I'm getting them annually at my new house.  Surely they must be fairly common?  Yet no-one else is recording them in Norfolk.  At all.  Are people overlooking them, or am I just very lucky?  The species in question is Fen Flat-body Depressaria ultimella - I had my first of 2016 on Thursday night.  In Norfolk there are 3 Victorian records, two modern records from 1999-2002 and then the rest are all mine.  Surely I can't be the only person getting them?

Thursday night also got me a Sloe Flat-body Luquetia lobella, a more distinctive species I saw for the first (and second) time last year.

A Silver Y was new for the year, and was perhaps part of a small influx of these migrants that was reported in southern counties that night.

Also new for the year for the garden were Hawthorn Slender Parornix anglicella, Bright-line Brown-eye and 2 Treble Lines.

Other moths were 2 Bee Moths Aphomia sociella, 3 Red Twin-spot Carpets, Green Carpet, 2 Common Pugs, Brindled Pug, Yellow-barred Brindle, Scalloped Hazel, 2 Poplar Hawkmoths, Pale Prominent, Chocolate-tip, Pale Tussock, 2 Muslin Moths, Cinnabar, Least Black Arches and 2 Hebrew Characters.

Lots of caddisflies though not much variety: Glyphotaelius pellucidus, 16 Limnephilus auriculas and Limnephilus sparsus.  One invert was a lifer for me though, a Blunt-tailed Snake Millipede.

Friday night proved to be excellent, though mainly thanks to an exciting discovery in the Brecks, about which I will write soon.  But there were some interesting moths at home too, including this Ruddy Flat-body Agonopterix subpropinquella, only my second ever.

Caddisflies consisted of 3 Glyphotaelius pellucidus and 15 Limnephilus auricula.  I finally managed to identify a Mayfly... Serratella ignita.
