| Light-trapping details and summaries |
| Idle Valley NR results October-December 2020 |
| Following the
worldwide Covid-19 pandemic early in 2020 and the subsequent
restrictions of public movement imposed by the government, moth trapping
away from the safety of home and avoiding contact with others was
recommended policy. Indeed, although most sites are, or were (depending
when you read this) still open to the public, the trapping of moths was
temporarily suspended by site owners and managers. The Idle Valley NR was one such site and so members of the Lound Moth Group are, within the foreseeable future, recording from their back gardens in Worksop and Retford, until restrictions on movement are relaxed and trapping at the Idle Valley NR is once again possible. |
