Another pleasing trap full of moths, it certainly was a Prominent night with Pebble, Maple and Iron Prominent turning up! quite out of the blue as well, and although listed as common, it's the first i've seen of the unusually late Iron and Maple Prom's
Mouse Moth and Coleophora mayrella were both new for the year and 2x Bulrush Wainscot's were new for the garden!

Nice selection there Ben! My Bulrush has obviously seen miles more action than yours.
ReplyDeleteIn my garden I have no problems with the common prominents......apart from Maple, which I have only seen once.
Hi Ben, I see your catching lots of Uncertains but no Rustics, is that normal with you? I get both and fresh they're not too bad, but now they are getting worn they are a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt, hehe yeah I saw that, surely been around a bit! lucky you, I don't get many at all!
ReplyDeleteTony, yes Uncertain very common her, Rustics tend to shun the light in favour of feeding on the Ragwort and Thistles!
