Summary
: Cloudy and fairly mild. Catch
consisted of an excellent 90 moths in 1h 00m
trapping time (18:25-19:25h) Temperature at dusk
was a 8C, dropping to 5.5C after an hour.
Immediately upon switching on the light, numerous
Chestnuts began arriving (this is by
far the largest number ever taken at light here)
This may have been due to the end of a lengthy
cold spell, with sub-zero night-time
temperatures? First Clouded Drab and A.
heracliana of the year. Most moths arrived
at the trap within the first 40 minutes, after
which only odd individuals turned up as the
temperature dropped. |
