Species List for 17/08/2025

 Four trapsrun. 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.  A warm night. There were 317 Moths of 51 species with two NFY. Setaceous Hebrew Characters reached a century, but the star of the night was the scarce migrant, Antigastra catalaunalis. This was the second I've caught, the first in the big migrant year of 2006. There seems to have been an influx this last few days, with Josh (my grandson), trapping one the previous day in Clitheroe, possibly the second for Lancashire.
