Not been moth trapping as much as I would have liked this year,<\/span> this was only my fourth garden trap of the year<\/span><\/strong>. A very warm and still night, so conditions were about perfect. What I didn’t expect was literally a trap full of Large Yellow Underwings, over 100 in all. My largest ever count in over 10 years of garden trapping. I think the quantity may well have spoilt what could have been an otherwise good catch. At around 11pm there was a single Old Lady in the trap, but not present at 5:30am when I was processing the results. I did get a new species, Anacampis popullela<\/strong>, <\/em>quite an attractive little micro.<\/p>\n
