Migrant moths

Whilst we haven't captured many moths yet in our pheromone traps at Wellesbourne (traps for diamond-back moth, silver Y moth and turnip moth), the migrant species are being captured in light traps on the Dorset coast by members of the Dorset Moths Group. In general these have been small numbers of diamond-back moth or sliver Y moth but 464 diamond-back moths were captured by one recorder on the night of 31st May!
