Merveille du Jour again
The season's second Merveille du Jour for the garden, this time a really fresh example, turned up last night amongst an otherwise typical collection of exactly 100 moths from 13 different species, more than half of which were Lunar Underwings.
Yet to trap one myself this year, although I did trap what I thought was one earlier and you pointed out it was too small, too early and was a marbled green.
I had one my worst traps ever last night down south on a cold and clear night. Just 5 moths, a Snout, 4 Lunar Underwing and a hornet!
ReplyDeleteLovely example Dave.
