FlyinginFordham: And back down to reality, but cannot complain!

With a low of 4 degrees and a chill in the air, the trap was nearly empty come Monday morning!

Thankfully, it was worth running it for several new species for the year. A Male Puss Moth was the best (And i've since had a large Female as well to boot).

Also the first of probably many Common Swifts arrived, these funny little things will always come in as the light is fading, and i've never found them to fly past the first hour of darkness.

And that was about it! 11 moths of 7 moths in total, but the following night was once again very good.
