As suggested in the previous post a second autumn visit might be on the cards and this duly happened. The moth team set up at a couple of locations in the Jubilee Wood on a calm moist September evening. Once again the bright lights shone and the moth visitors couldn’t resist. Not so many species this time which reflects the season and also evening conditions can be so fickle to be the difference between good and poor moth activity.
Listed below are the moth species seen and recorded and a separate list of Caddis flies identified.
Particular thanks to Andrew Frost, Kevin Royles and Barry Dickerson for taking the time to lift the lid on the moth world in the Jubilee Wood.
