I set my trap up complete with vertical hanging bedsheet on a hill at Parndon Wood, surrounded by mature Oak tree's, this looked a better spot than anywhere else. It did indeed proove itself with no less than 176 moths of 12 species about what i'd expect this time of year in this sort of habitat. The weather was indeed on my side too with 15 degrees recorded during the day, the clouds were slower to appear after dark than it was orignially predicted by the weather forecaster's and therefore the temperature did drop to a chilly 6c. Here is the list of moths recorded using a 125w MV bulb Macro Moths 15x Small Quaker (NFY) 39x Small Brindled Beauty (NFY) 18x Yellow Horned (NFY) 6x Dotted Border (NFY) 10x March Moth (NFY) 14x Oak Beauty (NFY) 2x Spring Usher 2x Chestnut 3x Pale Brindled Beauty.
