...don't brag, Adam!
Wow, what an impressive haul you had! Nice photos, too - just finishes it off nicely. So, a Buttoned Snout - a red-lister then, I take it? Great find, who needs A-listers...!! |

Very nice! I'd like to see a Pale Prominent. I had some of the same - Treble Lines, Willow Beauty, Marbled Carpet, Straw Dot, Vine's Rustic, Flame Shoulder. I also had Heart & Darts (many!), Green Pug, Grass Rivulet, Marbled White Spot, Great Oak Beauty, Iron Prominent, Flame Carpet.
No Stag Beatles though - fortunately it looks like the Cockchafers have ended, I had eight in there the other week. They like climbing under the egg boxes - nothing quite as disturbing as seeing egg boxes walking around the bottom of your trap. |

Did you trap last night Adam? About an hour after I switched on the trap was covered by thousands of small dark moths. VERY disturbing. Only saw that once last year when the flying ants came out.
On the bright side, I switched the light back on at midnight-ish, and this morning I had a Buff Tip and Lobster Moth, both firsts for me. |

No I didn't.  I'm on earlies at the moment and don't have time to get up that early to check the trap. I did some sweep netting in the grasslands at work and have still got a fridge full of potted micros to work through. Getting there though. Loads of Aethes smeathmanniana and (presumably) Dichrorampha alpinana, with quite a few Crambus lathoniellus, Yellow Shell, Burnet Companion, and Silver Y.
I've got a star walk tomorrow night so may run the trap at the same time. Not a sniff when I did the same last Friday. Nice and humid now though. 
Cheers,
Adam | | |
