I’m not sure it’s even permitted for non moth-ers to have seen such a brilliant set of moths without even really trying! Apart from the Magpie and the CSTiger the others would be lifers for me 🤢

No I’m on the coastal plain a 15 minute walk to the South Downs and in the opposite direction the sea. Sea breeze each evening in the Summer.

My trap site does seem to be quite breezy almost all the time. I feel sure that has a strong influence over my catches.

Not really. Two in 25, Two in 24, One in 23. Was really hoping it was going to be a Cosmopolitan which I have only seen once in 23 & 24 but not this year.

I once closed a 25th Anniversary game with everyone picking the subject they thought I knew least about. The answer of Beyoncé stunned the room. Don’t know how I knew. 🤷♂️
Sometimes my wife asks me how I know something & I just reply “General Knowledge”, and she’s the Cambridge Graduate not me. 🙄

I once asked a young graduate their opinion as to whether they thought Trident was a good use of taxpayers money? They didn’t know what it was.
I didn’t bother asking that question again. 🤷♂️I suppose he knew it lot of other stuff. Hopefully.

Accepting that you already knew this little factoid I’m sure you’d agree you reach a point where you can’t understand when some people don’t know things you thought everyone knew.
