Summary

[edit]
Description

The last species for the year...but Well I think it is farewell to new species for the year now, a sad time for Lepidoptera in this Country, it is strange to think that in some more temperate Countries that moths fly prolifically all year round. I tried trapping a few times with with MV bulb which returned two blanks late last week. It was time to break out the reserve light, the 40w Actinic! And i'm glad that I did as I started to catch moths again albeit in minuscule amounts. Winter Moth was a season first and not an addition to the yearly garden list having caught one in January. The year list stands at 400 species on the nose, 230 Macros and 170 Micros, a very pleasing figure and 62 new species were added to the garden all-time list which is now 3 years old and 543 species. I will probably keep trying when the weather is favourable...
