Just comparing records for this year to the same period last year, what a marked difference due to the weather!
Up to 31st March last year I had recorded just 16 species (adult moths) and the individual moth count was 190. This year, including 2 new micros from last night’s garden catch (Mompha subbistrigella & Ypsolopha ustella), the total stands at 46 species (also all adults) with over 1000 moths counted. Last year during the first 3 months of the year there were very few opportunities to run the traps and everything was late emerging, this year it has been just the opposite.
