Last 2 nights have been excellent for trapping. Thursday night ran a trap around the workshed area (lots of Oak trees there), found it covered in moths in the morning, just like a summer’s night! Over 150 moths caught of 8sp, including 51 PB beauty, 32 Spring usher, 7 Small brindled beauty and a Satellite. Trap in the garden last night didn’t have as many moths but more species, 11 in total including A. acanthadactyla, Small brindled beauty, Dotted border and Y.ustella. Turning cold again for a while but may be getting mild midweek when traps will go out again! Maybe time to dust off your traps if you haven’t tried them already this year yet!

Ran the actinic on Thursday night and had a single Chestnut. Have also been seeing quite a few moths in the car headlights on the way home from work recently, but haven’t stopped to check them out. Which reminds me … where’s my spring-net?
