Species List for 16/10/2026

 Four traps, a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden, a 125W MV Robinson in the Greenhouse Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, and a 80W MV Skinner in the Pond Garden. After last night the cold snap arrived and the temperature dropped to  7.5 deg C over night with a 15 mph NW wind. Consequently there were far fewer moths. The Uncertain is the only October record I have and the previous latest, 9th Sept 2001, is the only September record I have. There were just 76 moths of 24 species.
