I ran the garden trap around the weekend last week, before the temps dropped a little for a few nights to give a bit of respite. Reasonably busy catches, including a few beetles and bugs which are likely to start ramping up in the trap over the next month.
By far the main highlight was a new species - not just for the garden but one I've not seen anywhere previously, though it has colonised the county recently and I have tried for it at a couple of sites ....
Obscure Wainscot
Best of the beetles was this longhorn, albeit an agg. only ....
Leiopus nebulosus agg.
Stenotus binotatus
Miridius quadrivirgatus
With the ridiculous forecast temps heading this way in the 'red zone', the trap is back out again for the next few nights. It'll probably be easier to watch it rather than trying to get some sleep with the night temps predcited!
