However, this week, in spite of a smaller catch, there were two species not previously found there, in the form of Lesser-spotted Pinion (grateful for confirmation, though as it is a lifer!) and Gypsy Moth.

Couple of new species for my museum list...
Although I have been running a trap roughly once a week at the museum, there's been nothing of any great import.
However, this week, in spite of a smaller catch, there were two species not previously found there, in the form of Lesser-spotted Pinion (grateful for confirmation, though as it is a lifer!) and Gypsy Moth.

Hi Dave, that is indeed Lesser-spotted Pinion. It seems to have had quite a resurgence this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave!
