Species List for 19/6/2014

A cooler night, with a minimum temperature of 10.9 deg C. I'd got a few bits and pieces lying around so I made a simple little trap for the "Greenhouse Garden". I didn't have anything spectacular in it this morning, but there were 21 moths, including the only coronet. In total there were 258 moths of 41 species, 11 micro and 30 macro.
Materials. Old plastic box (junk removed), plywood bottom of an old draw (was going to tip), an old pastic funnel, the lead off a dead hedge trimmer, an old jubilee clip and four pegs. The electrics (choke and capacitor) were from  a old strip light and the 80W lamp and lamp holder were my spares (cost  £8 ) I'm sure expensive traps have a much better retention percentage, but it is possible to get quite good results with out spending a fortune.
