Where have all the Dark Arches gone?
Even in this hot weather i've had a dearth of common species in my Aylesbury trap this year so far, with only 45 Dark Arches and 200 Heart and Darts! I've had quite a reasonable variety of species but mostly in low numbers. I did have a new moth for my garden last night though, my first Silky Wainscot; also nice to see my first Leopard moths (2) and Drinker female. Dave Maunder

Interesting, I've also had an influx of female Drinkers these past 3 nights of trapping. Dark Arches numbers are also down on usual too. Silky Wainscot is a nice record.
ReplyDeleteI'd swap some of my Dark Arches for a Leopard moth
ReplyDeleteI'd be in the swapping business too. No shortage of Dark Arches in Thrupp.
