Merry Christmas all! I am hoping to attract three Wise Moths although it looks as though they will have to have travelled from very afar, being a type of Ghost Moth endemic to New Zealand. All warmest and here's hoping for more everyday but still interesting arrivals in the New Year! Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
Update on Boxing Day: Well, Three Wise Moths duly appeared on Christmas Night; not Wiseana but a nice trio: Winter moth, Mottled Umber and the ever-increasing Cypress Carpet. Encouraged, I put out the trap again last night. Nobody came. MW
Hi Martin,
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting a trio of species, even if the hoped-for antipodean wasn't one of them! The lighting arrangement certainly looks interesting and must have kept your neighbours amused!!
Happy New Year
Dave
