Species List for 16/08/2026

Just two traps, a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden, a 125W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden. The forecst rain didn't really appear, but I decided to run just Robinsons, since they are no trouble to dry out. There were a lot of moths, but no surprises. 588 moths of 79 species with one NFY.

Species List for 15/08/2026

Not a great night, oddly "Sam" had a very poor night. There were 424 moths of 72 species with one NFY

Species List for 14/08/2026

 My Four traps, a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden, a 125W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, and a 80W MV Skinner in the Greenhouse Garden, plus a portable Actinic trap  on loan from Sam Perfect. Quite a big night with 693 moths of 94 species and three NFY, including a rather worn Convolvulus Hawk-moth. The two A. laterana would need dissection for confirmation (which I don't do), but the date is in their favour.
