What no migrants here in Ipswich too!

I also put out a trap last night in the garden hoping something may turn up. A check this morning of a soaking wet trap revealed very few moths at all. Only 14sp, 26 moths in all. First year records of Orange sallow, Frosted orange and Lunar underwing (only 3). Commonest moth Feathered ranunculus with 6 noted.

Running 2 traps up in the woods around the worksheds tonight but I’m not too hopeful. A prolonged spell of heavy rain early afternoon has dampened things down and it felt like it was cooling down rapidly while setting up the lights. Nice bright moon in the sky too!
