Description: Weekly round-up A quick report of the last week's efforts using my garden Robinson trap with different light sources. Slim pickings but happy to pick up what probably will be the last species of the year, namely Winter Moth and Mottled Umber (Scarce has sporadic good and bad years here) A bonus Udea ferrugalis on Tuesday night didn't even survive the night in the fridge for a photograph the next day, I guess it had one heck of a journey. A bonus Caloptilia semifascia as well on Thursday night, my 8th this year now which is a record and an almost identical Mottled Umber last night to Tuesday's specimen (I'm glad I kept it now as I probably would have said it was the same moth in the dark and grey conditions we've had all week). Photography has been a nightmare with leaving for work and returning from work in the dark nearly and even today the dull conditions aren't much better and the last few days it hasn't really got light at all. Here are my results - VC20 Stevenage, Hertfordshire 06/12/16 - 125w MV 3x Winter Moth [NFY] 1x Mottled Umber [NFY] 1x Udea ferrugalis 1x Acleris schallariana 07/12/16 - 125w MV 2x Winter Moth 1x Acleris schallariana 08/12/16 - 40w Actinic 2x Epiphyas postvittana 1x Caloptilia semifascia 09/12/16 - 9w UV Led 1x Mottled Umber 1x Epiphyas postvittana That is all :).
