Red Chestnut is very...red....

Martyn I think that pug is a very, very early Narrow winged Pug....

It is good the early Thorn is doing well. .

AndyC said...

A lot of spring species have done well this year , but I think a lot of the Orthosia have not done that well this year....There have not been any massive numbers of Common Q at all , Clouded Drabs , Twin spots etc have all been low to medium ,,Hebrews and Small Q seem to have done well but nothing outstanding..the night temps have been low...

Edward Evans said...

The highest number of Common Q here was 28

AndyC said...

Yes 28 is a low number...when you think a good number is 50 + in a good year...although 28 is not bad for a trap at home...

I agree with Andy on Narrow winged Pug
