There wasn’t as many moths
outside of the trap today and just ninety-seven were trapped and identified,
which is well down on the catch of 215 on the 23rd. Not surprisingly there was therefore less
species with thirty-three being recorded, which did include two new for the
year.
The following were recorded:
Ghost Moth [1]; Hawthorn Moth [1]; Diamond-backed Moth [1]; Timothy Tortrix
[1]; Pseudargrotoza conwagana [1]; Celypha striana [1]; Celypha lacunana [1];
