Species List for 08/09/2017

The weather was awful, but I ran a single trap in our back door porch. I'd been playing with an old set of electrics that had been given to me, and a spare funnel I had. With the aid of a Bexley Council waste paper box,an old bit of hard bard, an old bit of perspex and a lot of bodging I knocked up a new 125W Box trap, which I tried out in the porch. It managed 59 moths of 11 species.

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.
