Been extremely quiet at the moth trap for the last week, with totals of less than 10 moths prevalent: 8th 2 species, 9th gave 2 sp, 10th 4 sp, 11th (a warmer overcast night) 12 moths of 6 species, 12th 5 species including frosted orange, 13th 6 species and 14th 4 species. As I type, a lesser yellow underwing and a buttoned snout all to show for 2 hours of the trap being on as it is again, a cloudless night.
On the micro front an Epiphyas postvittana, Acleris variegana and catoptria falsella have been the sum total of the last 7 days. Just hoping for more cloud cover as the week progresses.
