A major influx of Beet Moth, Scrobipalpa ocellatella here in Worminghall, Bucks last night. I counted 72 as best I could as many were flying out the MV trap.

I've been noticing that too in North Bucks. First record was on 10th August with numbers steadily increasing, to double-figures recently. Didn't count them last night, however, as the catch comprised 31 macro moths and 28 Common Wasps, which I'm not too keen on, reacting badly to their stings!
