FlyinginFordham: Still running a week behind!

Still can't seem to catch up with my catches, although the weather has turned a bit now, windy cooler and with some much needed rain.

I ran the trap last night and it was a fairly poor catch for the beginning of July, but with a nice big green surprise.

Saturday night I had a night off, and it's looking like the same thing tonight as the temperature is said to drop to 8 or 9 degrees with a gusty wind, not ideal.

Last Monday night it was still warm and settled and moths were plentiful, several new species for the garden were noted, Gold Spot was one of them, what a beautiful looking moth it is.

In the daytime I attracted another new Clearwing species, the Yellow-legged Clearwing.

I also got my 4th Dusky Clearwing (And i've since had my 5th the other day). I wonder how long these will keep flying for. It will certainly be very interesting to find out.

Only new for year species listed below.
