More trapping
last night under clearing skies and with a temperature dipping to around 13
degrees, things are starting to cool down gradually.
The moths
numbers have also nose-dived with less and less each time I trap.
Thankfully
though my catch last night included two nice species, a garden first Poplar
Lutestring and a year first Acleris aspersana.
Magpie Moth put
in another appearance, they really are a beautiful looking moth.
The numbers
were made up by 32 Common Rustics and 8 Straw Underwings, the rest were pretty
much ones and twos.
