I will put the trap in a slightly different place tonight, protected by Matthews old fishing brolly on a post. Last year I found that lots of moths rested up in the brolly above the light.

The wind got up last night, unexpectedly, and at 2 am I was dismantling said brolly and putting the trap undercover. All for one Red Swordgrass!
ReplyDeleteI valued my Red Swordgrass Jane, don't see too many of them here!
ReplyDeleteI don`t think that I`ve ever had a red sword-grass in my home trap (though I`ve had them elsewhere). I`d certainly like to catch one in my garden trap.
ReplyDeleteI'm very lucky and get them regularly here. They were the first moths I found when we moved here and the reason I started trapping and recording.
