An "Early" Start to the Year
Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2020 10:48 am
Morning all, and a Happy Moth Filled New Year.
It was 10 deg. C at 1700hrs last night (02/01/20), so I thought well worth setting the trap. The last check was at 2300 hrs, the temperature was 9.9 deg. C, but I found no moths.
Checking this morning the temperature was now 5.9 deg. C, but I found Early Moth on the trap and Winter Moth above it on the wall. I wasn’t too disappointed when I found nothing in the trap.
Early Moth is not regular in my garden, and “all” of my previous records have been in February, both of them, in 2011 and 2015.
