Overwhelmed!

Like Matthew, found my traps this morning heaving with moths. Outside of lights absolutely covered in Blastobasis adustella, hundreds of them! Has taken most of my spare time before work, during lunch break and an hour after work to sort the traps out. 130+sp, best moths included 2 Tree-lichen beauty, 6 Rush veneer, A.assectella. Lots of micros tubed up for later sorting, will report more on this night when time allows. It certainly did pay off to run lights sheltered from the wind, seeing that others didn’t do so well with numbers in more exposed sites.
