Dalgety Bay 30/01/2017 - Hebrew Character

One moth in the garden MV trap last night - a Hebrew Character. One more moth than I was expecting at 5 degrees

First macro of the year - Mottled Umber at Kinghorn, 08/01/2017

Been a few of these about it would seem but this one was found resting in daytime on the harbour wall. A couple of days earlier my garden trap produced nothing but clearly it's worth getting it on whenever a weather window opens

A nice, if small, collection overnight in the garden heath trap with the star of the show undoubtedly being the lovely Merveille du Jour - my first.

Merveille du Jour

Cullaloe, 23/07/2016

A good selection of species for only a couple of hours between 10 and midnight, with a small handful of new ones adding to the reserve moth list - my favourites being Barred Yellow and Bramble Shoot Moth. Ghost Moth was also a nice new one, but one I've seen lots of elsewhere

Hill of Beath, 10/07/2016

Overnight heath trap produced a fair number of moths but with little diversity. There were a couple of micros but I didn't attempt to stop them escaping. They didn't look particularly enticing.
