Not stellar, but new species each night is pleasing

Still exceptionally slow in my garden for July. Usually these are bumper times with 60-80 species per night on average and upto 100 on a good night.

Recently it's been averaging aronund 25 to 35, catastrophic to say the least, others are reporting the same.

 

But maybe it's just a crap year that won't be replicated in 2025, or a worrying trend that could carry on downwards, time will tell.

Just the 3 new species on Sunday night, but Rhopobota naevana (The Holly Tortrix) was new for the garden which was pleasing.

The weather continues to be windy and cool unfortunately.

 

Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 425 species
