Description: Bye bye June, Hi July The last night of June 2014 and the trap was setup once again in anticipation of what the first morning of July might bring.. Certainly a better selection of moths. Scalloped Oak was a whole month earlier than last year in the garden..Common Rustic an incredible 48 days earlier than last year's first recorded specimen! That cold weather and snow we had definitely had a huge impact on emergences right through the year. Fern seems to have had a good year, with many records at home and when out and about trapping. Best moth of the night was probably a Rustic as I don't get many of these.
