It's been far, too windy here for the last week or so to even bother.
Strong wind is probably the thing most likely to stop me trapping. I trap every Friday night for 36 weeks from early March to early November as part of the Garden Moth Scheme, although if the weather is really bad, or I'm going to be away, I'll trap a day or two either side of Friday instead. Surprisingly, I have caught the odd moth or two in temperatures below zero, the one Rannoch Sprawler I trapped was on a pretty cold night.
Well done Rubia. Is that micros as well as macros? I'm a few weeks off my first anniversary, will be interesting to see where I'm at by then.
Lovely moth. Want one!!
You're doing quite well enough, this year you've caught half a dozen moths I need!
Thank you. That number is micros and macros in total. I look forward to seeing your first year total. The first year must in some way be the most exciting as everything is new. The challenge will be adding to it.
Yes, garden mothing, I've finally found a wildlife enterprise in which I feel I can keep pace with you!!
I've not yet dived into micros in any comprehensive way, need to get a field guide of some sort first (and better eyes). Good luck with Yellow Horned, although I find it hard finding the balance between wanting everything now and saving a few for future years!
