PLYMOUTH MOTHS IN JUNE |
|
In 2008 we set up a moth trap in our garden in Plymouth. This is what we have found in the month of June - not yet all positively identified. |
| 2008 | June 7th ( National Moth Day) |
|
Not a particularly good night for moths. It was quite windy in our garden, so, even though the trap was in the most sheltered place, there was not a great deal flying that night. We found one Brimstone Moth, which flew off in disgust when the camera was pointed at him. |
