Species List for 26/08/2020

With the wind gusting up to 58 mph, well past the blow the moth traps to bits force, I didn't moth on the 26th. Last night was surprisingly calm and quite warm.  648 moths of 54 species with Setaceous Hebrew Character numbers dominating. Two NFY were both interesting, a Centre-barred Sallow was the earliest I've caught here and an Obscure Wainscot, my fourth was on an exceptionally late date.

 Centre-barred Sallow

Species List for 05/09/2017

Number of Setaceous Hebrew Characters continue to fall. The first Centre-barred Sallows arrived last night. Unlike most moths,that have appeared early this year, the two Centre-barred Sallows last night were about a week late. They were pretty warn, so they must have been avoiding me for a few days.
