A couple of actinic traps in mixed woodland last night gave us 31 moths of 8 species. The majority (20) were December moths, 3 Mottled umber, Winter moth, Northern winter moth, Yellow-line quaker, Red-green carpet, Chestnut, and November moth agg. (female).

Is that the bubblebath back?
ReplyDeleteWe like to keep our moths clean and tidy Peter.
ReplyDeleteNineteen male December moths and one female, she left us a collection of eggs on an egg box....Ah! That's why we use egg boxes!! That's my best attempt at a joke, sorry. ;-)
No December Moths here yet. Just LBAM x1; Feathered Thorn x 2 and a poss. Angle Shades caterpillar from last night's trap.
