Well the weather has been so dire for aslong as I can remember, so little opportunity to trap and also being busy with family etc, I am slowing down abit with my trapping efforts ahead of moving into or new house at the end of this month, so come the end of Juily, there will be no more lengthy lists! unless I have a field trip out.
It has been the worst recording year (for numbers) since I began in 2006 (which ironically was a bumper year!) but all is not bad as it still seems good enough to produce some of the rarest moths in the County!
Last night was no different and feature a lovely Ruddy Carpet, albeit indoors fluttering about the lobby light! I thought my eyes were deceiving me and instantly put it as a Flame Carpet (another one that is usually common but have not seen yet this year)
Other moths new for the year were just Lilac Beauty, Water Veneer, Ancylis achatana and Meal Moth which given the time of year and the overcast and dry conditions last night, is pretty poor.
