I'll be busy at work next week so no chance of any out of garden mothing before National Moth Night 2008, so I decided to leave traps running overnight at Charnwood Lodge.
Total catch was 345 of 59sp., although there were no surpises or major highlights. Plenty of new species for the year though. Total catch list available from VC55 Yahho group for subscribers:
