Last Nights Trap at Bettisfield Moss

Post by Greg »

Last Nights Trap at Bettisfield Moss:

Morning All,

It was a mild, dry, calm night, perfect conditions, until the heavy mist developed. But, a reasonable trap nonetheless. Plenty of Heath Rustics, Neglected Rustics, Autumnal Rustics, Lunar Underwings, Yellow-lined Quakers, Flounced Chestnuts and an unusually orange Barred Sallow.

The highlights for me though were a second gen Lilac Beauty and a Vapourer, only the second of each I've ever seen.
(a few pics below).
