What's the chair for, Barry? I can't believe you find time to sit down!
ReplyDeleteNice one again, Barry! Some good moths....I`ve not had barred hook-tip (though I`m sure that I`ll get it somewhere with beech one day). Barred rivulet is another good Carms record.
ReplyDeleteFor those who don`t know, Barry has been annually trapping at the Glynhir BSBI week for 10 years+ or so.
Sitting comfortably helps focus the brain, as does a nice mug of tea! Ian as you can see, despite the trap having been run in pretty much the same week each year (and I try and chose a good night) results have varied dramatically. The weather of course is hugely influential, as is the is the number of traps - I started off setting just one, but have increased this to two in the last few years, and this year I ran three, so the results are only really indicative.
ReplyDeleteInteresting as always, Barry - well done. I had a good variety of moths at the home trap last night - will blog later today. Had loads of moths....can`t remember how many exactly, but whatever it was, it`ll be one more than you had!
ReplyDeleteReally excellent - thanks Barry. Incidentally, the Carms database doesn't have any records from you for 2013, 2012 or 2010.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the Scopariines, especially Dipleurina. I see plenty every time I go diurnal mothing, and a recentish stop at one site saw 20-30 jumping off almost every tree! A phenomenal year.
