Species List for 03/10/2026

Four traps, a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden, a 125W MV Robinson in the Greenhouse Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, and a 80W MV Skinner in the Pond Garden. The Robinson was moved to the  Greenhouse Garden and was as productive as the Skinner is there, thus showing it is the pond garden that is poor in species at the moment, and not the traps catching ability. There were 245 moths of 36 species with one NFY, a Pink-barred Sallow, only the sixth here and the first for 8 years.
