I agree with what you say about Europe, it’s not always full of migrants bursting to come over to the UK. I saw very few moths in Bulgaria in May this year as there had been a drought last year followed by a very cold spring. There has been a heatwave in southern Europe this year so if this is the source for our migrants there may not be any foodplants left for them to breed up on before getting here. Be interesting to see what the autumn is like.
Hopefully good!
