Mothing for 2025 finished for me at the end of August (27th) when I then went for two months ro Australia, not mothing but Birding and Mammal and Reptile watching. I returned at the end of October, to be greeted with some of the wettest most dismal weather imaginable. Coupled with the awful weather extending into January and February and a couple of physical problems, due to my penchant in old age for falling over, I didn't get started this year until February 25th. At the moment I am using two traps, a 125W MV Robinson in the Back Garden and an 80W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden. Hopefully I will add photos for each NFY species as we go along. I will catch up in the near future.
There were 16 moths of five species.
