I'm not expecting any significant moth catches now and have just totalled up this years records.
I ran the trap on 138 days and caught a total of 4223 macro moths of 211 species and just 54 micro moths of 27 species.
My worst year ever! Which isn't too surprising given the amount of rain in the early summer but already looking forward to 2013.
The highlight for me was trapping Devon Carpet again at Clough Wood in the Spring with Brian Statham which must indicate that there is an established colony there having first taken it in late August 2011. This would be the first breeding record of the species for Derbyshire.
