15th Oct 2007 Wicklow trap list
Single 125w Robinson and 4 15w actinic traps.
Cold with a grass frost. 24 species, but a couple I didn't get the previous nights of European Moth Nights (EMN)
Most unusual is the Hebrew Character, but I recorded on in Oct 2006.
Got a decent picture of a Anthophila fabriciana (Nettle-tap). Usually seen by day around clumps of nettle, but this in my trap this morning.
Finally got a fresh Brick, my 21st record, but I don't remember a fresh one previously.
A couple of Yellow-line Quaker for comparison.
and I couldn't let an opportunity pass for uploading a Merveille du Jour 3
