Summary

[edit]
Description

Another multi-catch report Little time to write much, but did managed to get the trap out last Wednesday and Thursday night as it was nice and mild but a tad windy with on and off showers both nights. The result wasn't many moths at all, but Large Wainscot was new for the garden and lovely to see, a probable migrant/wanderer as the habitat around here is no where near suitable.

It is my 401st species of Moth for the garden since August 2012.

3 Sprawlers over the two nights was also a bonus and another Caloptilia semifascia to boot. Barred Sallow still hanging on with one individual on the 30th of October.

I am a little concerned about Merveille du jour, last year I got just two on the 22nd of October. I initially thought I had more than that, but the records don't lie!

Other moths that might not get a garden look in this year are...

Brick 2012 (7) 2013 (0) Black Rustic 2012 (2) 2013 (0)

Both of which made appearances last year as can be seen above.

Next week could be changeable so I will see when it is best to put the trap out.
