Marton 27 August 2010 Moth-trap (15watt actinic) out overnight in garden produced the following: Orange swift 1 Flounced rustic 3 Vine's rustic 3 Common wainscot 1 Lesser broad bordered yellow underwing 1 Lesser yellow underwing 5 Large yellow underwing 10 Garden pebble 1 Shuttle-shaped dart 1 Green carpet 1 Turnip moth 7 Small square-spot 2 Setaceous hebrew character 9 Also, during day had another hummingbird hawk-moth sighting.
A definite decline in numbers/diversity in last few weeks. Autumn has arrived!
The colony of Pyrausta aurata on our garden mint/marjoram patch seems to have done well this year with 4-5 regularly seen during sunny periods.
Cheers Brian
