In the end it was windy all night but the trap survived. There were only 14 moths of 11 species. One Rush Veneer ventured into the trap along with yet another Box Tree Moth. The next couple of nights will be unsuitable for trapping and it will be interesting to see if any migrants are left after that.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday 13th Overnight fog turned what could have been a mild night into a cooler, damp, one.
