I left two 6W actinics at Coed-y-bedw last night, my first mobile trapping of the year. Although it fell to 4C by dawn, it was still 10C at dusk and a reasonable catch of 14 species resulted. This included the micros
Acleris cristana and
A. notana/ferrugana (tbc), both new for the site, plus
Semioscopis avellanella (a local species last recorded here in 1997).
