Balsam Carpet in abundance

It looks like the 2nd generation of Balsam Carpet has done exceptionally well this year. I had my highest ever count last night with some in all 4 traps alongside the River Waveney (Norfolk side), with a total of 46. The highest count last year for the 2nd generation on the same site and around the same date was 6.
It was the most abundant macro of the night, other highlights being White-line Dart (4), Double Kidney (6), Triple-spotted Pug, White-spotted Pug, V-moth, Phoenix, Webb’s Wainscot and a new one for the site, Kent Black Arches. Also a whole host of good micros making the count around the 120 mark.
