Moth trap results from Sand Point 20th May

Conditions remained good into the night so I ran a 125W MV for an hour following dusk. The prolonged cold spell earlier this year seems to be still having an effect as only one underground pupating species came to the light; a Flame Shoulder. The rest consisted of mainly Geometers. The full list after an hours trapping:

Incurvaria masculella
Short-cloaked Moth
Red Twin-spot Carpet
Green Carpet
V Pug
Brimstone
Clouded Border
Phoenix
Waved Umber
White-pinion Spotted
Netted Pug
Flame Shoulder
Oak-tree Pug
Double-striped Pug

Netted Pug
