On Sunday night
I ran the trap in the garden after another mild day.
We did get some
rain at some point in the night as the outside egg trays were damp but the
temperature was a pretty respectable 15 degrees still at 5am.
The wind was the
main problem and this only got worse yesterday and into today halting trapping
for a few nights.
Here's a strange
one to start off with, the Micro Moth Cochylimorpha
straminea is an abundant moth out in the field at the moment with
hundreds to the traps but here in the garden...just 3 records over 5 years! And
the 3rd record was on Sunday night and very welcome indeed.
Middle-barred
Minor was also new for the
year, one I missed out on last year and then two come along at once!
A few migrants
made it to the trap as well, two examples of both Silver-Y
and Plutella xylostella.
A great sight
also was a Lesser Stag Beetle which I
don't see many of in my garden.
The weather i'm
keeping a close eye on and hope to get the trap out tomorrow.
