FlyinginFordham: Bournemouth Moths

I took a lucent suitcase actinic trap away with us to Bournemouth at the beginning of August.

Over the 6 nights I ran the little trap, I amassed 118 species, which was very pleasing indeed.

No new species for me sadly, but great to get some that I don't see very often. Four-spotted Footman (both male and female) were a personal highlight.

Below is the full list of moths I recorded.
