Winter Moth

Post by melbellingham »

Trap out on Friday (23/11/2018) for the winter GMS, and recorded just 1 Winter Moth Operophtera brumata to 125W MV lamp.

Put the trap out again last night (24/11/2018) and recorded just 1 Winter Moth (different individual) to 5W LED lamp.

Not good results, but the moth was FFY, and number 209 on my macro species list for 2018. Best ever total.

I'm assuming now that the only thing I can look forward to are a few (or more) blank returns.
