• Bean seed flies - 175;
• Pollen beetles - 2;
• Flea beetles - 30;
• Cabbage stem weevil - 0;
• Cabbage seed weevil - 0;
• Cabbage stem flea beetle - 6;

We caught 2 carrot flies on 3 sticky traps in our second sowing of carrots.

There were no diamond-back moths, 1 silver Y moth, no cabbage moths and 7 turnip moths in our pheromone traps (2 traps per pest).

There were 2 cabbage root fly eggs around our 15 brassica plants.
