| | | Last night's mega session
When I stood by my trap at 11pm last night I knew it was going to be a good session because I was having to shake them off my t-shirt and get them all out of my hair, and that was before the macros really started turning up. Got driven indoors by the shear mass of insects eventually.
Anyway, here is the list. It doesn't include those that are still waiting identification (1 macro and umpteen micros), plus the vast array of other insects including Harlequin Ladybird, other assorted beetles, Common Wasp, Mosquitoes, various Caddis and Mayfly species, a Netelia testacea Ichneumon, and what I can only assume is a type of Cicada. I will post pictures in due course.

Excellent haul Adam! The cicada sounds interesting as the one UK species that was present in the New Forest is I believe considered extinct here now. |

Will bung a piccie on here of the 'cicada' type beast when I get it downloaded. Certainly the right sort of shape, it was green and had 'ears' on top of its head.
Should add there were also many moths that were worn beyond possible identification.
Cheers,
Adam |

Excellent selection - my list is coming.
I had a hornet in the trap, always entertaining. Plus millions of what I assume were leafhoppers, a bee, a variety of beetles and two-dozen or so wasps this morning. Sometimes the bonus insects are almost as good as the contents of the trap.
Looking forward to the photos. |

Ah yes, forgot about all the leafhoppers. Typo in my original post. Blastobasis consociella should be B. adustella.
Cheers,
