I had 12 of 10, which was an improvement over the last few nights in numbers. All expected species. 3 Cypress Carpets the only multiple.

I use excel with a v-lookup for names and fill it in through the evening when checking the trap. Then add the additions and numbers the next morning. I have 5869 lines of data so far and certainly wouldn’t want to have to do that at year end. Definitely best kept up to date.

It’s going down to 3C here so I really think I would prefer you stay under the duvet at 5am, especially with the clocks changing. 💤 Wogan can go visit someone else 😉. 🐛
