New trapsite

I've kindly been allowed to light trap on a nearby site. First go was night of 29th April and here are the images of the catch. I've been using the new LED set up which works very well, so well that I think I will replace the actinic bulb in my Robinson with one of these. When I've tried LEDs before I've been disappointed but these bulbs, despite having to run them from a 12V source and being just 7W are really very effective. Purchased on eBay from atropos2024. I've cobbled together the wiring for a Heath trap, I have put a 3amp fuse in this set up, but it isn't earthed.

LED set up in Heath.

 Here are the images of the catch.

Worn Brindled Pug.

Common Quaker

Early Thorn

Epinotia immundana

Flame Carpet

Great Prominent

Grey Birch

Hebrew Character

May Highflyer

Nut-tree Tussock

Not a moth! Pterostichus nigrita/rhaeticus, dissection required to split these, I released this.

Red-green Carpet, somewhat unco-operative and would not open its wings.

Scalloped Hazel

A common cranefly, Tipula paludosa.

The Ichneumon parasitoid, Ophion variegatus.

Many thanks to N for permission to trap. I also put a pheromone trap with FUN lure on site but this failed to attract anything. 18 moths of 12 species plus three "intruder" species.
