My moth trap is still catching good numbers of moths
This is The Vestal – an immigrant moth which is found in Britain between April and November – records in September may be individuals that have bred in the country – however they are unable to overwinter in Britain due to the low temperatures. They breed all year round in southern Europe
The commonest moth by far is still the Large Yellow Underwing but there was are also this single Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing in the trap yesterday
Again, thanks for these wonderful moth photos.The names so redolent of a by-gone era..
Are traps expensive?
