Species List for 16/7/2011

With only 28 Macro Moths in four traps it is the worst catch for this date I've had. In 2010 it was 299 Macros, in 2009, 377 Macros, 2008, 201 Macros, and on a wet night in 2007 with only two traps 87 Macros. The previous two years, also with two traps were 199 and 213 Macros. respectively and in 2004 with just one trap 118. This averages out to 213 moth/night, so what has happened in 2011 to be SO BAD.
