MOTH TRAPPING - TYNTESFIELD NT 10/11/06

With so few potential trapping nights available in November a visit to Tyntesfield NT was done despite rain being forecast. 3 traps were run although technical problems meant they were all close together. The forecast rain did arrive so trapping ended early and only a few moths were recorded.

Most of the moths trapped were very worn, the 2 on the right were fresh enough to photograph.
