Going to try trapping at the BC Median Farm reserve tonight to add to the present tally of zero records!

Oi, cheeky, there are quite a few records from daytime visits, including some leafmining by Sam B. But no trapping yet, so you should add quite a few - good luck!
ReplyDeleteI saw Adela cuprella dancing above willows at the site today.
Interesting abdominal position , looks like it's scenting?
ReplyDeleteSorry George, misunderstood you!
ReplyDeleteYes Barry, I think it's the female spreading scent to attract a mate.
