900 in Guernsey

More than three-quarters of my additions in the last week have been moths and the trapping has been gooood. After the last three years of poor catches, it is a relief that this summer is going well and at this rate, I should easily pass 1000 with moths alone. There has been 5 new species for the garden in the last week, which is excellent since I have been trapping here for about 10 years.

The moth trap in situ on the patio.
