First moth of 2008

At last....Well, to be fair I haven't ran the trap yet but whilst engaged in some father/son activities in the garden that consisted of fixing up a couple of nest boxes and a 'butterfly boudoir' - honest, that what it's called (although the idea is to create an artificial hibernation site for the Herald), I spotted a Hofmannophila pseudospretella or Brown House Moth to the majority of us, fluttering around the lawn. Not particularly impressive but the first one nevertheless. A child free couple of hours on Friday and a visit to Browns Wood beckons. Watch this space.
