Moth Trap

Iron Prominent

I ran the moth trap Saturday night for the first time and despite some overnight rain some 60+ moths of 16 species were caught. Most noteable of which was an Iron Prominent and several Copper Underwings. There were also good numbers of Large Yellow Underwings and Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwings. Also present were an Oak Bush Cricket, Shieldbugs and several wasps which proceeded to dismember and fly off with some of the smaller moths.
