And what did I have in my garden trap? ONE moth. One fucking Early Grey. But on the plus side I did add both Whitethroat and Lesser Whitethroat to my house list.
Last night was 100% better - TWO moths!!
One Early Grey, in these conditions - shocking! Have you tried turning the light on? Seriously though, I'll bet that you aren't checking the trap till gone 09:00? Anything sitting outside the trap will have long before you get there.
No, I've been checking it around 07:30 most mornings. I'm buggered if I'm getting up earlier than that just to look at moths! I don't ever expect there to be much on the outside of the trap, but surely the moths inside shouldn't have escaped. I suspect it's much more to do with the bastard farmers spraying the field behind the house with poisonous crap.
