Not one, not two but THREE moths....

Given the return to somewhat milder temperatures and prompted by seeing good numbers of moths in the car headlights this evening decided to put the trap out, glad I did as the return was a 'bumper catch' of three moths!

125W MV trap, back garden, 18:00 - 06:30

2 Agonopterix heracliana
Satellite (Eupsilia transversa)

    1. Cheers Dean, always like hearing of comings and goings in South Yorkshire, the old 'Wath Ings' was a regular place to visit in my youth - I think we used to live on the same street many years ago...

    Now you`ve got me thinking, Dave. That street wouldn`t have been Kent Ave, would it ? Ahhh....the penny`s just dropped. If it was, then would you be Dave Shenton ?

    PS : I`m only 5 mins away from Wath Ings now and have been for the last 15 years.

  4. Now that`s something else, Dave. What`s the chances of us being in contact afer all these years. I could fully understand if it`d been facebook, but by blogger, that`s remarkable.
