..continues to be very warm here in the east, with highs of around 28 degrees for the past 3 days and exceptionally muggy nights, moth activity has been high, but for just 3 or 4 specific species (namely Least Carpet, Blastobasis adustella & Cloaked Minor) that trio alone accounted for over 100 moths.
I'm probably missing a few lately as I feel extremely weak and lethargic, i've postponed 2 trips recently also.
Highlights were 3 new for garden moths.
Below are two nights with just the new for year species noted.
