April Moths in Wales
The weather is improving and as the forecast was for a warm,, dry, windless night I put the moth-trap out before heading off for a mountain bike ride in the Dyfi Forest.
On the drive home there were bats flying everywhere. They must have been out catching moths and other insects so it looked as though it should be a good night for the moths. On inspecting thee trap this morning, there were plenty of moths and Morgan identified them well.
