Species List for 30/08/2026

 After a day with no mothing, a: for a rest and b: because the weather was awful. Four traps, a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden, a 125W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, and a 80W MV Skinner in the Greenhouse Garden. The Actinic tube in "Sam" seems to need replacing as it just blinks at the moment. It was a coolish 14 deg C night with a blustery wind from W to SW of  12 to 23 mph with some rain around 3 a.m. There were just 102 moths of 32 species with two NFY. The Yellow Belle was the fourth here. Two Vestals were interesting, one was a normal size with a wing length of around 14 mm, the other only around 9-10mm.
