Today’s Moths
Yes, at long last I put the moth trap out last night.
It was a gorgeous night with light winds, clear skies and temperatures only dropping to 15ºC – are you sure this is Wales at the end of September. There weren’t loads of moths in the trap but there were enough. 66 in total from 14 different species.
