\n\tMany people running moth traps have commented on how poor  the trapping results have been. The weather has been the main culprit with months of cold & wet conditions. It wasn’t until early July that the weather finally settled down to warm & dry conditions and my first trap of the year was over the evening of 25th July. A decent result overall from an actinic, “neighbourhood friendly”, garden trap. A total of 150 individual moths – 29 macro species & 8 micro species. Highest number was 50 Dark Arches<\/span>, always my most common macro species to be trapped during the season. A further trap was ran at Kings Newton which was far more productive, being close to good woodland habitat.  Several good moths were trapped, a new moth for me was White Satin<\/span>, a scarce & local species in Derbyshire, along with another scarce species, Scarce Silver-lines<\/span>. I hope for more warm & dry weather between now and end of October and then maybe there might be a few migrants about.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
