Silver Y moths late

The light traps run by moth entusiasts capture two species of migrant moth that can be pests of vegetable crops - silver Y moth and diamond-back moth. There is a particularly active group of 'moth catchers' in Dorset and their website details captures.

Last year the first silver Y moths were caught on 28th March. They have yet to be captured this year. Another sign of the late season!.
