Not much to show for the effort....
I put out five traps last night, but the results were rather poor. The traps were located in my Pwll garden (2), on the coast east of Burry Port (2) and a disused quarry at Furnace, Llanelli. Just modest numbers and a limited variety of mostly common species, with migrants represented by rusty-dot pearls in two traps and a solitary silver y.
Above: August thorn - caught at Pwll and Furnace Quarry.
Above: dusky thorn, at Pwll.
Above: among the small numbers of micros was this one (click on photo to enlarge). Is it the tortricid Lathronympha strigana? Please confirm or correct - thanks.
