FlyinginFordham: A few more moths as conditions stagnate

The 8th of July was still in the cooler blip, by cooler I mean it was still 24 degrees and 14c at night, hardly bad at all, but the catch was 1/2 of what it was 4 days previous.

Still, it was an improvement on the paltry 6th with 5 new species for the year, the best was the rather local Assara terebrella, a pine feeder.

The first of the Tree-lichen Beauties also arrived, I thought this was ridiculously early, but apparently not, with the same date in 2023 and the 11th in 2022 as the first dates for those years.

Things started hotting up once more!
