Female cabbage root flies captured

The water traps at Wellesbourne were checked again today (last checked on 29th April) and we have captured our first females (6 in 3 traps) and a large number of males (35 in 3 traps). Numbers of bean seed flies have also increased. The captures so far are summarised in the attached file.

We have yet to capture carrot flies on our sticky traps.
