Abergavenny 31st October 2015
Ran the MV for macros on 31st October and trapped only 4 moths, of which 2 were new to us. Very pleased to see the lovely Merveille du Jour and also a nice specimen of Sprawler which is apparently not very common in Gwent.

Sprawler is an excellent record - I've only had one here at Dingestow in nearly 20 years of trapping and we are surrounded by seemingly ideal Oak parkland. Not as pretty as Merv, but I know which I'd prefer to catch :-)
ReplyDeleteWell done Val and Mike, a nice set of moths, of which both I've yet to see.
ReplyDeleteWe have Oaks reasonably close by so maybe a fair wind may divert one of them to the trap one day. Here's hoping.
I read that the Sprawler is one of those moths that does not feed.
I spoke too soon - after my comment on 5th November that I'd only seen one Sprawler at Dingestow in 20 years, I found one this morning (6th November) under our porch light!! I'll post photos soon.
