Species List for 30/07/2026

 My 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, plus a portable Actinic trap  on loan from Sam Perfect. A rather disappointing catch considering the warm weather, light breeze and some super catches elsewhere. There were just 250 moths from 67 species and two NFY.  There was another Striped Hawk-moth which no longer seems to be a scarce migrant here.

The Jersey Mocha is also my second, the first was in 2019.
