Better trap with 3 NFY

Post by melbellingham »

A much better trap last night (10/10/2019 – 13 deg. C min.) compared with my 2 moths from the previous night, with Merveille du Jour 2, Spruce Carpet and November agg. all NFY.

Also recorded were Large YU, Lesser YU, Brick 2 (both seen on ivy, but only 1 in the trap), Angle Shades, Brindled Green, Yellow-line Quaker, Black Rustic 2, Blair’s Shoulder-knot, Common Marbled Carpet 3, Light Brown Apple Moth 2, Brown House Moth, Eudonia angustea 2 and Tachystola acroxantha 8.
