Definitely feel it was a contributing factor. Ironically I think I last changed it around autumn 2006 during the Scarce Bordered Straw influx.Skevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601888498478097564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246763419709722582.post-89408030302124862982009-09-08T20:33:57.803+01:002009-09-08T20:33:57.803+01:00Interesting that your MV catch was poor, Mark - I ...Interesting that your MV catch was poor, Mark - I put my traps out last night (7th) for the first time in about 2 weeks. They were both pretty crap (i.e. just loads of LYUs, Square-spot Rustics etc), but the MV was particularly poor compared to the actinic - about a quarter of the number of moths. Perhaps my bulb is getting old as well - I can't remember the last time I changed it!The Leicester Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726759603199971409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246763419709722582.post-87308161300970770242009-09-07T20:22:33.462+01:002009-09-07T20:22:33.462+01:00Thanks Dean - they are feeding well at the moment,...Thanks Dean - they are feeding well at the moment, I think I just need to sort out a more suitable box for them before they form their chrysalis.<br /><br />Yes Ben - quite variable, I have seen darker ones but most I've seen are this lighter form. Still a good catch here in VC55, though the rarity value decreased in 2006 when we had a major influx.Skevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601888498478097564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246763419709722582.post-67788414147464321992009-09-07T10:17:34.125+01:002009-09-07T10:17:34.125+01:00Good job on the Scarce Bordered Straw, yours looks...Good job on the Scarce Bordered Straw, yours looks totally different from one that I trapped, apparently a very variable species, and quite a rarity around these parts.Bennyboymothmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16982443515789714821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246763419709722582.post-38831548333162696712009-09-07T08:59:05.845+01:002009-09-07T08:59:05.845+01:00Cracking pics, Mark.
