Since my wife and I built a moth trap mid year 2017 we have been quite taken with the Moths. Don't get me wrong we don't get 300 moths of 20 species in a night hell we don't even get 30 of 5!.
One thing is for sure, I have been waiting and watching the weather station temps urging for double figures.....trouble is our home is planted in the North West of England 820ft above sea level so temps can be cool for a while with the more than average rainfall which is making the whole wait seem like forever.
In truth I am predicting that it will be at least mid March before the temps raise high enough to entice a few night time butterflies into the trap.....until then we wait!
