Trap Result 29/08/08

Near plague proportions of Large Yellow Underwing on Friday night, but star of the show was Gold Spot. This is not an uncommon moth, although it does tend to have a westerly bias in the county. Although these are regular in the trap there were 19 on Friday, which was slightly over shadowed by Dave who managed 21...... 40 of these between us in a night is quite something. Also present in large numbers were Brimstone. Again, a regular vistor in small numbers but 22 was quite a catch.....Silver Y provided a bit of migrant interest and Barred Sallow heralded the start of autumn. Other highlights were Vapourer and Frosted Orange.
