October was a quiet month moth-wise, as you would expect. I say expect because you wouldn't expect the same sort of numbers as you would in July or August. October was relatively wet, so that also limited the number of occasions that the moth trap was employed. In fact it was limited to 2 occasions. But there were a couple of new species for the year, including the striking Merveille du jour.
