Species List for 14/08/2017

Of the 617 moths caught almost 50% were Setaceous Hebrew Characters and Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwings. There were around 69 species, an increase on the last few days, butstill short of what couod be hoped for. A thunderstorm just before 5a.m. had me scurrying round the garden discovering the difficulty in carrying a moth trap and holding an umbrella at the same time.
