Makes a change to the routine reports. Doesn’t change the loss though. I think it has become a spider victim. Time to clear out sit and reflect before getting back to the good mothing this year.

A very frustrating experience. Worst one I had was my first ever Nemophora metallica (not from Suffolk) that flew off and I lost it. Did find it, went to re-pot it but it flew off straight into a spider’s web and caught and carried off to be eaten instantly!

I have experienced just such a photo debacle myself, whilst in Malaysia a few years ago. It was a jade hawk – a big thing (i.e. about 1000 times bigger than your Agrotera) which managed to disappear in a locked air-conditioned hut with hardly any furniture or nooks and crannies. I still find myself gritting my teeth at the memory…

The way to catch it is a tried and tested method – run your MV trap in the room the moth escaped in tonight. It should then appear from it’s hiding place! I know of eminent lepidopterists that have been through this experience and have re-trapped specimens. Worth a go!
