Thanks Chris. All species that are available here (probably excluding D Mas). I do try to trap in the winter months when the weather is half decent, but rarely with much success. I tend to think the moths just don't wander far from good habitat 🤷

Out of interest Chris, what were your 14 species? Sorry if that's a fair bit of typing (consider yourself lucky 😅).

Impressive stats! I would assume garden habitat (given the small number of potential species at this time of year) and local weather conditions are the issues.

My last moths were 6th Dec, and they were my first for at least 3 weeks prior to that 🙄. Nothing so far this year 😪
