[Naturenutz]

I am beginnning to believe light brown apple moth is the commonest moth in my area . Any else agree they are the commonest moth ?

H & D at the moment - overall throughout the year though I guarantee it will be Large Yellow Underwing (in their thousands in my traps!).

i understand both your choices jenny and adam but everywhere i go, every field edge,every path or garden seems to have the light brown apple moth . sometimes silver y appears a very common one too around here but not too many at the moment.

I wasn't saying they weren't! - just that personally LYU's are the commonest in my traps.

The U.S. (California currently) is fabricating an emergency on this LBAM to rob the people of billions of American dollars of their emergency funds. People in the U.S. never bother to look around the world to see that LBAM is just another tortricidae leaf roller in many other countries, so the media blitz repeating the state propaganda works quite well there.

My concern is that the U.S. has lots of $$$ and influence when it comes to dictating behavior to England and I wonder if this propaganda about LBAM is going to be forced on England soon to substantiate the lies in the U.S.

I know it sounds absurd, but no more absurd than England finding their way into the Iraq war to accommodate the insanity that exists across the pond.
