Hi
caught it at 2.30  ,after watching Journeys Into The Ring Of Fire which was also very good. I enjoyed it but wish it had been an hour instead of just half.

Thanks for the PM Dan, I watched the repeat, excellent and enjoyed the two old boys and the Butterflies, very dedicated men. Great programme.
There was a similar one on a couple of weeks ago about the man who has studied Dragonflies at the same site for 30 years.

Very interesting, particularly the moth trapping: the man said he 'traps nearly every night of the year'.
How many species are still active during autumn and winter, then? |

We didn't like the bit were he killed them then cut off their genitals. My other half was disgusted. |

I agree, though it's 'scientific' and that it did seem a little OTT to kill one for the sake of a record, on a personal level. I did wonder if it was geuinely killed during the filiming, or if it t could have been 'acted' for want of a better word to demonstrate what he would do if that suituation arose.
It just seemed unlikely that a man with his experience (though everyone get these these mysteries at some point) would come up with an un ID'd one, just on the day of filming? |

Hi
yes, but how many times have you trapped a dozen melanic minors ( his was a Cloaked Minor) and just let them go because you can't ID them and like me you wont kill them to find out what they are.
At the end of the day someone's got to kill them to find out about distribution etc. Not nice I know.
To me they're just " black 'uns"
