Who needs a moth trap when you have a head torch, a net, and warm still weather? The missus went to sleep early so I went for an impromptu half hour walk around the square, which turned out a cracking list of lovely creatures. Bizarrely the addition of Foxglove Pug prompted me to notice I hadn't recorded Foxglove, which has been in flower for a good while now!
Still, it looks like I'm back into the tight tete-de-la-course. Until Christian declares 1000 next week, that is ...

Nice one Ali, Great way to go mothing and clearly very productive.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Must be honest the trap makes me lazy with everything presented on a plate, well egg carton. Used to do lots of dusking and it's been ages. Must do some soon. I've been spurred on
ReplyDeleteActive searching also turns up other goodies. There's a woodlouse hunting spider that I see regularly on tree trunks at night but never anywhere else. Also Dromius quadrimaculatus suddenly appears to be abundant! The night is a different planet
