The number of times its happened this year – what promises to be a productive evenings trapping with good temperatures and cloud cover, just as you get set up, the rain sets in and everything gets soaked! This was the familiar pattern again this evening. There were good numbers of moths on the wing until I packed up at 8.30 with a selection of autumn, late summer and winter moths all in the same trap. This included November Moth, Merveille du Jour, Large Wainscot, with Large Yellow Underwing, Snout and Setaceous Hebrew Character representing the stragglers from late summer and the first December Moth of the season. Brindled Green was the most abundant moth of the evening. – The topsy-turvy season continues.
