With the forecast of a frost this morning I wasnt sure whether it was prudent or not to put out the trap.Its been a long winter so of course I did with an increase of moths,if that's not hyperbole,with Common Quaker 3, Oak Beauty 1, Small Quaker 2, March Moth 1,Grey Shoulder-knot - NFG & NFW 1 and possibly a first for the garden and new for website is a non confirmed Agonopterix heracliana 1.NFG & NFW - so 2 new moths in one day,excelllent
Beware of the actor moths, as twice I was caught out this morning by the last two moths mentioned above playing possum. I took some shots and put the GS-k outside thinking the frost was too much and it was a gonner!! No chance,it took one look at me,smiled, and flew off. Worth an oscar!!!!
