Some new welcome faces

I ran the trap once more during this incredibly mild spell that we are having.

Sadly, it's been very windy recently, and that has hampered my catches here, as my garden is really exposed on the edge of the fens.

Two Double-striped Pugs were nice to see, both slightly different and in good condition. There was also a really pale Twin-spotted Quaker on the back door, another year lister.

 

The rest of the catch was made up of Quakers, Drabs and Hebrews, with only a smidgen of micros.

During the day today, my pheromone bucket traps attracted two Pammene giganteana, one each to the FUN & SKI lures.
