As some of you will be aware, there are migrants coming in. In particular at least a dozen Striped Hawk-moths, mainly in the southwest. Will Langdon was fortunate enough to catch 2 at a site in Pembrokeshire. They may come this way so it is worth trapping this week even if the weather doesn't seem to be particularly favourable. I have never seen Striped and if anyone near me happens to get one I would love to see it. I trapped last night and even though it was cool and clear there were still a decent number of moths including 2 Plutella xylostella.

I had a Gem and 2 Plutella in what was otherwise a very poor catch
