Latest from the trap
Back to the garden trapping last night and a nice selection of species greeted me at 5am whilst sorting through the trap.
Not masses of moths but certainly quality over quantity.
A completely new species for me was found, the pretty little Phyllonorycter nicellii. The larvae feed on Hazel for which there are a few trees in the near vicinity.
A stunning metallic grey Oak Nycteoline was lovely to see also.
Here are the last two nights trapping efforts with 10 new for year species things are finally creeping up.
The weather seems to be a very mixed bag at the moment with temperatures around 19 degrees day and 12 at night and unfortunately cooling down for the weekend, typical as we have a field trip scheduled.
