Gypsy Moth

 On Saturday night I recorded my third Gypsy moth in the garden. The others being in 2016 and 2017. I have been asked what their current status is in Oxfordshire as there are only 2 modern day records in Warwickshire.


Andy Newbold Sibford Ferris Oxon.

    Yep becoming common. Catching them every night now in Sonning - just over the border from Oxon.
