Summary

[edit]
Description

Last time out on Wednesday Trapping efforts are becoming fewer and farther between now as the weather becomes increasingly cold and damp, it really isn't worth running any traps if the temperature is set to dip below 5 degrees. Coupled with lots of clear skies recently and a few sharp frosts it signals nearly the end of the trapping season now with just Winter Moth expected.

On Wednesday it was a mild day of around 13 degrees and it didn't really drop from this until probably the early hours of the morning where it was still in double figures. Consequently moths did ventture out and 3 new species for the year were added to the list bringing the total upto 467 for the year and amazingly 44 more than the best year previous in 2014.

Lovely to see a large Female Sprawler, a greasy Dark Chestnut and 3 Red-green Carpet at once is unheard of for my garden.

Late species included a translucent Double-striped Pug and a Blastobasis lacticolella.
