Heatwave phew and moths Wednesday 21st June 2017

Well its hot, no mistaking that although all change tonight?

At 9am it was 26'c at the shelter to hot for work so just a morning of monitoring, no Strandline Beetles found on the section I checked today but I did find a special moth the Sand Dart.

On the subject of moths I ran the trap overnight on Monday into Tuesday with a great catch with a smattering of common moths plus some "goodies" and a NEW moth for Carmarthenshire a Reddish Light Arches, Apamea sublustris, here are a few pictures.
