The conditions were quite frankly awful, a cool breeze and a completely clear sky hampered the catch, and after 2 hours I packed up.
I did manage a new species though! 8 of them to be precise the micro Diurnea lipsiella the Autumn equivalent of Diurnea fagella and pretty uncommon going on my Essex moth book.

Must be about time to get out searching trunks and twigs for apterous females then - I'd really like to see a female Mottled Umber. D. lipsiella is also one I've not seen.
ReplyDeleteYep, it is indeed, although the weather is a bit rough at the moment. Good luck on your hunt!
