I see the Orthosia`s are still dominating things, Stewart. Well done on the Least Black Arches.
As you mentioned the Orthosias are thinning out here in Derby but I did get 2 Drabs last night so they haven't gone completely.
Ok, I'm going to be a complete prat here.....what the significance of the 4 digits before the moths name ?
I thought it was the time you caught the moth!!
Hi Warren. The numbers are specific to each moth species. Its a code that keeps them in correct order, a bit like Voous for birds, except that wasnt organised enough to number them!
Dean - Yes, for the first time last night Heebies weren't top of the pops!
Ian - It must be nice to get so much variety down there. Next time I'm in the south on holiday the trap is coming with me!
Hi Stewart, I haven't dropped by in awhile, but getting ready to come over on Monday to England! Can't Wait!!
I'm working on my website today and thought I'd visit your link from my Nature Links page, funny, the post I just did today is of a Moth.
Can you tell me more about how you Moth Trap? I want to learn more about them, would love to study them while in Northumberland.
Thanks,
Mary
