From the garden trap 13/08/2011

After the day out on Sunday, I spent all of yesterday recovering the garden shed. I've mentioned before how the shed was looking a bit tired and especially so with the 100s of wasps using it as prime nest-building material. So to preserve the shed, and make 1000s of wasps homeless in the process, I gave it a liberal x2 coating of fence life type stuff. Looks much better now, though every now and then I can hear a wasp buzzing something along the lines of 'WTF!'.

So once again, without trying too hard, I've behind with updating the garden moth trapping records - albeit just the one night on 13th.

Total catch 149 of 46sp.
