24 macro species from our usual three traps but the numbers were low. The only notable species numerically was the Brown Silver-line, not surprising in view of our abundant bracken. New for us this season were Poplar Hawkmoth, Brimstone Moth, Silver-ground Carpet & Common Carpet. Also included were these two other attractive species - Pale Prominent & Peppered Moth which put in their first appearance last week.
We had our first Poplar H. this week too. No Common Carpet for us yet. Found a few larvae in the wood yesterday...still working on them!!
