Light-trapping details and summaries
Eakring, Misson Carr and other site results September-October 2024
 
All light-trapping carried out with a 125W MV light
Species listed in dark grey refer to migrants
 
Date: September 2nd 2024
Site: Besthorpe GP SK818640
Weather conditions: Overcast and warm, with occasional light rain
Trapping time: 20:20h - 01:00h
Temperature: 19°C - 17°C
Additional notes: Dotted Fan-foot was recorded new to Nottinghamshire and later confirmed by the county recorder. The large number of Brimstones attracted to light, was my personal highlight of the night, but Apotomis semifasciana was very notable too, with this being a new (third) site for the moth in the county.
