Hepialus humuli pair (7392024178)
Catch Report - 16/06/12 - Back Garden/Farmland
An absolutely awful night weather-wise we had waiting for us as we set up traps around the farmland, it was just so windy with huge gusts and always threatening rain and as quoted by Colin Plant 'it's abit of a non-starter really isn't it!' But mad as we all are we set about running traps until about 12.30am when it seemed pointless anymore. Highlights of the night were both Male and Female Ghost Moth's, easily 60+ Common Swift's and a stunning Elephant Hawk-moth. Also a possible Cochylis molliculana which I am hoping is correct as it will be a new one for me and the site.
