The garden trap has been out over the last three nights; I nearly didn't bother as it's been a bit cool and breezy overnight but whilst numbers have not been great I did pull in a couple of these ....
Mullein
A few other bits but nothing too exciting. I'll be trying pheromone lures over
the BH weekend hopefully.
Waved Umber
Spruce Carpet sl
It is very probably a Spruce Carpet on markings, but there are strong
suggestions that antennal characteristics of males need to be checked to
reliably separate Spruce and Grey Pine Carpets so I will start checking the
odd ones I get. Except this one was female.
I had a quick search for a suitable link to some music, as nothing came
immediately to mind apart from 'Mull of Kintyre' that was never going to
happen. I found an album called All The Right Doors by The Mullins. Never
heard of them, and had a quick play .... a load of Christian nonsense that
made McCartney seem viable. So here's a much more tenuous link ....
Of course Larry Mullen Jr is the U2 drummer ....
