First Moth Trapping in Our New Home
It has been quite a while since I last trapped, due to packing up for the move and unpacking in our new home, plus time away at the Bird Fair and illness, so I thought it was about time I tried. Now Trapping in the new place will not be as good in many ways as I have had to tone down my bulb, no longer do I have the super bright MV bulb glaring away, instead I have a actinic type, which will attract less moths, but as I only have a small garden which is surrounded by buildings I thought I should be nice.
First Moth Trapping in Our New Home
Before bed I checked the trap just to see if it was working and there was my first moth, a very tatty Large Yellow-Underwing, not the best but as it is the first it gets special mention.
