Once again a northerly air flow and a min temp of 12.2 deg C. A rathe disappointing catch. I swapped my 125W Skinner trap with one of the 80w traps. This was because I've been getting a lot of wings in the 125W trap, and haven't been able to identify the predator. The 80w traps are a hybrid design, a sort of Skinner with a solid top and a funnel under the lamp. I added perspex sheets and had intended to convert them to a more standard Skinner type, but I think that this hybrid arrangement actually retains more moths. Going back to the problem of eaten moths, there were none in either trap today, but there were far fewer moths anyway, 189 of 36 species.
