Mothing.... Monday 22nd May 2017

In less than perfect conditions I set my moth trap out in an area of Willow Scrub, Phragmities and rough grass.

I ran the trap from sunset until 23:00hrs, a short but interesting session, with Fox Moth, Pale Tussock, Middle Barred Minor, Treble Lines and Sharp Angled Peacock the best.

Another session on Wednesday night when hopefully it will be a bit warmer....
