Spring Usher
This morning the garden moth trap, a 125W Skinner type gave up 2 moths from last night. Another Pale brindled beauty and a first Spring Usher of the year. 4th night in a row that I have taken moths, the total now being 8 macro species and 3 micro species, totalling 88 moths. A comparison to 2016 can be made, where on this day I had recorded 12 macro species and 4 micro species of 85 moths. Even after the cold weather we have experienced this winter and missed out on last winter, numbers are very similar.
