Have other recorders noticed good numbers of Turnip moth in their traps of late? I found quite a few in the traps today so counted them – 250 in my 2 lights. Can’t remember seeing that high a number at this site before. Quite a variation in colours and size which again I think is unusual at this site, mine are normally dark coloured.
Also, the underwing species seem very scarce, especially Large yellow. Not that this is a bad thing from the point of view of the other moths in the traps. My guess is they are aestivating during the warm weather. Have others experienced this too?
