I ran both traps last night as the temperature didn't dip below 15 or 16 all night. There were 22 species of moth in the trap this morning plus a couple of Acossus rufipes.
Highlight of the catch was a Gem Nycterosea obstipata, which was a new species for the garden and a species I've only seen once before, at the RSPB The Lodge under a security light in October 2018.
Blogging has taken a bit of a back seat recently. I'm still going through all the beetle samples from this year and will try and get round to posting some of the highlights.
Everyone else's blog seems to either be on permanent hiatus or that late Autumn lull before year end summary and new year hopes and dreams. Anyway, hope everyone's OK....
Could do with a Gem here.
ReplyDeleteYes, blogging on the back burner just lately for me - nowt to say!
