After being unwell again recently, enough feels like enough and thankfully we are all getting better now in time for Santa's arrival tonight!
I have ran the trap only once recently, on the 19th and recording 8 moths of 4 species which were 2 December Moth, 2 Mottled Umber, 3 Winter Moth & 1 Emmelina monodactyla.
Last night, just for the fun of it, and to try and brighten my spirits, I ran it once more and was pleased with 4 moths of 2 species, 3 Winter Moths and a fresh Black-spotted Chestnut.
Also, a bonus on the beetle front, whilst rummaging through seasoned logs for a background to take todays photos on, I happened upon a new longhorn beetle for my records, Phymatodes testaceus.
Merry Christmas all and thank you for your likes, comments and mothy chat over the last tough and challenging year.
A best moth species of the year post will come next week.
🎅Merry Christmas, and a mothy new year
