Species List for 23/7/2013

56 Micros of 15 species and 168 Macros of  50 species was a reasonable night. It might have been better had I checked my Black No1 trap when the timer switched on, I'd removed the lead during the previous nights thunderstorm and not plugged in properly last might, hence one empty trap. Festoons seem to be like buses, wait for ages to get one and then three come along! Six Privet Hawk-moths in one night was the most I've caught. They ranged from very fresh to completely worn out.
