Tony and myself were present at the BC moth evening at Purdis heath last night (no excuse for me really as it is right next door to where I live!). Felt cool out on the heath itself but the temperature held up OK under the trees. Not a fantastic amount of moth activity at the lights, 33sp including a few larvae that dropped on the sheet! A few bits of interest – Neofaculta ericetella, Eulia ministrana, Waved umber, Silver Y. Also Great prominent and Buff tip had the wow factor for the visitors. The May bugs were much more abundant than the moths, these providing the entertainment for the evening as you had to keep ducking and diving to avoid them as they blundered around!
