I've been thinking the same, too, combining one of these with a sylvania on my sphinx. Can't hurt to give it a go, and halve the light the neighbours get😁.

I ran one v similar, for quite a whike in the garden. Initially because it had less impact on neighbours. But it did work pretty well 👍👍

😁😁😁 if only !

Went looking for Caloptilia honoratella mines on Sycamore. Found a promising mine. Vacated with exit? hole on back of leaf. had another look and cones on other leaves, but rufipennella also present. Be a good Staffs record. Can't see what else could be but not sure if this is enough to ID #teammoth

Just a bit jealous, some of my cubs are on a camping trip in France. They all know to send me moth pics so just got this Orache Moth pic sent over 😊

I'm all set up sans shower curtain, feels good out there, but there's already a stonking great hornet buzzing in and out of the trap! Let it out once, but it just did a circuit and went back in. We'll see how that affects things. If only I had some sort of lightweight sheet type thing to hang up 🤔😁

Staffordshire 1st record was only a couple of months back, and now I've found a few. So it's definitely worth keeping an eye out for. Does seem to be spreading quickly? Could be as it's now on everyone's radar that it's being picked up sooner? 👍

Found a few more Lyonetia prunifoliella mines today at Baggeridge. Got the strings of frass in the underside this time, too. All fairly recent as I checked this same area a couple of weeks back 😊 #teammoth

Not much again last night but did get a nice Rush Veneer and a Six striped Ristic at Baggeridge 😊 #teammoth

Somewhere in the house, there's a Rush Veneer!! Brought it in last night to get a pic in a better light. It wasn't particularly sleepy!

A many migrant night awaits 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Ah yes, the greenhouse building shenanigans! I share your pain! A year on I'm glad I did it but , at the time many rude things were said!

Yay 😁

Which ever it turns out is a good record by the looks of things 👍👍

Just tried to do an estimate of the numbers of these Coleophora alticolella/glaucicolella cases on Rushes in this wet meadow. 10+ per head , c.200 per clump, so quickly got to 15000! That was just within 10m of the path. At least another 500m2 of rush behind this lot. Amazed by numbers #teammoth

Just loving "the actinic by the babbling brook". Idyllic 🙂

#teammoth

Walk round Endon and in the wet meadow by the canal 100s ( more likely 1000s!) of Coleophora cases on the Rush seed heads. Many still tenanted. It's a Coleophora glaucicolella/alticolella aggressive without a rear & gen det though Looked hard over winter and found a few. Now 100s 😊

Least Carpet is NFG, I've had a few this year at Baggeridge, so forgot they aren't common! In other news, a 4 pug night. White spotted, Goldenrod, Maple, and a couple of Double striped 😊

Things have slowed a bit, but this chocolate tip was a nice surprise this morning 😊

Definitely 👍👍👍

Brilliant, going to take a look tomorrow 👍

Check the house walls! Never had one in the trap, but they are a regular at baggeridge and always on the side of the garage wall!

Nice one 🙂

Found my first Coleophora discordella on Birdsfoot Trefoil today 😊 #teammoth

I'm working on the if they take the m5 then m6 they can easily call at mine on the way, maybe uv fairy lights all the way from junction 11 🤔

Thanks, the clip on macro makes a big difference, but more the just keep snapping and hoping at least one comes out OK 😁

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😁

A nice little Parornix in the trap this morning. Gen det job, but it's still nice to find an adult. #teammoth

Now, in theory, they ought to stop off at mine on the way up 🤞🤞🤞🤞😁
