July Moth Highlights

We have used the moth trap on 3 occasions in July.  On the first occasion we had a bumper crop of 83 moth species (see the earlier post July moths), the second occasion we had 47 species, and on the third we had 33 species.  These numbers include both macro and micro-moths.  In total we had 116 different species in July.  We also had a very high number of species (25) that we had not had here before.

Below are some of the most photogenic species we found.
