Moth to a Flame - Metallica

 Not everyones cup-of-tea we know but Friday night was so productive at the Moth Traps that we felt our Valued Readership might like to see the results all in one post. With the extra bonus of a visitation from our friend Dave Foot Wanting to carry out something of an experiment by

hoisting a trap into the canopy.
19 new species for the year included:-

POPLAR LUTESTRING
GARDEN CARPET
MAY HIGHFLIER
SANDY CARPET
DWARF PUG
SHARP-ANGLED PEACOCK
OCHREOUS PUG
COMMON WHITE WAVE
PUSS MOTH
COMMON PUG
BUTTONED SNOUT
MOTTLED RUSTIC
RUSTIC SHOULDER-KNOT
MARBLED MINOR
TAWNY PINION
LIGHT BROCADE

Inevetably with Dave in attendance it was going to be a long and enjoyable weekend but, with only a limited number of hours in the day we have had to reduce today's Post to just the additional Moths on the Year List. There is a lot more to come from a brilliant couple of days which we will bring to you a.s.a.p.
Lower Away My Hearty's
Not as much success as was hoped for so likely the Test Runs will continue?
