Garden Trapping - Fordham - Cambridgeshire - 08/09/21

Another mild night last Wednesday, and another very good catch, with lots more variety popping up.

 

The only trouble is, that a lot of the newbies are getting a bit worn now!  It was nice to see a good variety of micros, usually the case on milder nights, as they seem to be far more active when it is humid and calm.

I keep getting plenty of Hornets in the trap, if i'm outside I tend to pot them all up before bedtime and then release them the following morning.

Although they appear big and aggressive, they are far from it, and tend to eat the flies and wasps in the trap, rarely touching the moths thankfully.

 

Below are the new species for the year.

Moth garden list stands at 150 species.
