Description: Last weeks moths Hello everybody. Last week I ran the trap on two occasions on the Thursday and the Saturday. Both catches were quite minimalistic but a good variety was recorded. The only new moth was a Feathered Thorn on Saturday. November Moth sp reached a peak on Saturday as well with 7 individuals, two retained to check for possible Autumnal Moths. Late flyers continue with Common Carpet being the most unusual of the bunch. Still no Dark Chestnut or Merveille du Jour, both recorded in good numbers in 2012. A brief post as I have been busy.
