I managed to get the moth trap out for the first time this year on the 1st of May followed by another night on the 5th of May. Predictably only a few species were caught. After the prolonged winter it is likely that some species are emerging later than normal. All the species caught were new to the village, by way of not having trapped at this time of year before here. I will update the species spread sheet on the side bar shortly.

Species are as follows:

1st May: Hebrew Character, Clouded Drab and Early Grey;

5th May: Hebrew Character, Clouded Drab, Common Quaker and Small Quaker.

Small Quaker

Clouded Drab
