I’m popping out… as a… – Mark Avery

… moth-er.

In different phrases I’ve a moth lure and I’m now progressively turning into hooked on moth trapping. How can one resist when there’s the potential for catching moths just like the one above – what a corker! Properly, that’s the kind of factor that birders say in regards to the drabbest of Phylloscopus warblers so I believed I’d say it in regards to the well-named Early Moth which comes out early within the 12 months (Jan-Mar) and this one was my solely seize Solar/Mon evening (and my first moth of 2024).

However that is the kind of moth that lights up a morning – the well-named Merveille du Jour which I had by no means seen till final October.

9 October produced two of those beautiful moths, 10 October one other two (or the identical ones once more?) and 11 October a single.

I’m very very a lot a learner so any ideas shall be gratefully obtained. I’ve a motive for eager to determine moths however I’ll hold that to myself for some time. Let’s simply faux I’m the kind of bloke who likes to hold lists of issues and I used to be certain to alight on moths finally (that is perhaps partly true – however not the entire story trustworthy!).

It’s enjoyable to start out as a newbie in an space of pure historical past – tons to study, plenty of errors to be made, plenty of enjoyable available. At this stage each evening of trapping (I’m solely going to common about as soon as every week via the 12 months) would possibly nicely produce a lifer!  And I’ve to say that the few fellow moth trappers I’ve met domestically have been very welcoming.
