Despite the warm days, the temperature has been dropping here at night, with the full moon also complicating things. Last night I ran two traps (MV and Actinic), and had a grand total of 6 moths of four species: Hebrew Character, Common Quaker, Brindled Beauty and Flame Shoulder (1st for year)! Despite trapping almost every night, struggling on 53 species this year so far, with virtually no micros.
On a more upbeat note, I had two Emperor Moths attracted to the EMP lure in the garden, in the late afternoon. Are there any tips on getting them to settle for a photo, as I spent a frustrating twenty minutes chasing them around without being able to fire off a single shot?
