Study leave has been better than expected, and on the evenings when I haven't been out celebrating the end of school, I've been moth trapping for most of the night- like any normal teenager! ;-)
The weather hasn't been brilliant for moths in terms of no cloud cover... but the wind is low and the temperatures are high so I've been getting quite a few moths in the trap...
1 Light Brocade- Best moth so far this year
1 White Ermine- NFY
1 Maiden's Blush- NFY
1 Pale Tussock
2 Pale Mottled Willow
2 Brimstone
1 Shuttle-shaped Dart
In the way of Micro moths...
1 Bee Moth Aphomia sociella
5 Light Brown Apple Moth Epiphyas postvittana
1 Diurnea fagella
3 Pyrausta aurata- Swept from mint during the day
1 Crambus perlella- Disturbed on lawn
Light Brocade...
Maiden's Blush...
Pale Tussock...
White Ermine...
Brimstone...
And my personal favourite micro- Pyrausta aurata
I won't be waking up to any school tomorrow so it will be another night of moth trapping!
