Moths update


The past few Months have been quite slow in the trap with most nights only getting one moth in the trap but i'm lucky because a lot of them have been lifers for me and all very beautiful moths, I love them all just love the excitement of having the trap on and checking if we have anything it's addictive and gives me that fire in the belly :)
I think mine and Dave's highlight has to be the Streamer moth which just flew to us in bright sunshine in the garden watching the excitement on Dave's face because he had always wanted to see a Streamer we were both over the moon and such a stunning moth.
We have also had lot's of other moths in the trap but and when we have been out an about, some new for me some new for us both and some that we have both seen before but all equally as lovely :)
