I'm now in my house at Ash Vale near Aldershot. As it was a mild, cloudy night, I thought it was worth an exploratory trapping, despite all my mothing gear being burried. I have my unpacking priorities correct! I am planning to start trapping properly in the new year, so last night was merely a sighter. I didn't make any notes, but there was nothing in there that I wouldn't expect in Haslemere. Best moth was a Black Rustic, but the trap was full of Caddisflies, proving the proximity of the Basingstoke Canal.
