The 3 traps run on the night of the 31st had plenty of moths in, no real exciting finds but some year firsts: Pammene giganteana, Nut-tree tussock, Eriocrania salopiella, Frosted green (5), Herald and Epinotia immundana. Most common species still Common quaker (91), second was Eriocrania subpurpurella (78), then Brindled pug (33). Small quaker still struggling along with only 29 caught. Also of note another Water carpet. 24sp total.
Last night (1st April), 2 traps run in the garden completely different, pretty empty really with only 10sp noted and single figures of all species. Only the Early thorn (2) and Lunar marbled brown (2) were of note being first for the year. Was a clear sky last night so that is probably the cause of the smaller catch.
