I thought that I`d give the trapping another go last night (Sat 31/5), but it became noticeably windier (and cooler) by the early evening. The resultant moth numbers and diversity in the actinic trap were very low indeed this morning with just 5 species, all singletons except for 7 heart and darts. The strong south-westerly did, however, blow in a sand dart to my suburban trap; it is a species that I regularly used to catch at my ex-coastal Pwll garden and it is a moth that Adam Dare continues to catch at his Burry Port trap site. It is a common species of Carmarthenshire`s depositional sandy coastline.
