Black and blue

Been away a bit recently, but a reasonable moth night on May 21st raises hopes that things on that front may start improving soon. A bit of colour in the garden this afternoon.

  1. More synchronicity, with the first wasp beetle at Thorne also seen today.
    You are still looking good for 1000 before end of May/early June.

  2. Wasp beetle is a stunner. I've had pretty much empty moth traps on all but one night for about two weeks! Too much clear skies and easterly breezes
