Species List for 07/07/2025

 Four traps. An 80W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, a 80W MV Skinner in the Greenhouse Garden and a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden. There were 201 Moths of 62 species with three NFY. A windy night and consequently, in my quite exposed garden, there were fewer moths, particularly geometers and micros. Just two Yponomeuta,showing the character of Spindle Ermine.

Species List for 06/07/2025

 Four traps. An 80W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, a 80W MV Skinner in the Greenhouse Garden and a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden. There were 189 Moths of 56 species with two NFY . Again the Garden Grass-veneers moths were just recorded as present (0 on the list).  After the cooler wet day I was not expecting a good catch, and I was right, although a Sussex Emerald was a nice surprise, even if it was a well worn example.
