It turned colder than expected and put moths off flying. I went out to Captain’s Wood as well as at home. Poor collection there. No Hawk-moths and 48 species from 2 traps. Did get my second ever Elachista atricomella though. Made me think of waiting for a bus then 3 turn up so hoping for one at home soon!
At home there was a total species count of 35 from two traps but did get some Hawk-moths. One Elephant and six Poplar (regularly common).
