The Beetles.....05/04

Nicrophorus humator
Yet again a poor night in the trap......for moths anyway. A fairly clear night with a 10mph S wind and temperature still a little low as it dropped below 6°C at times. But for some reason it seems to be a magnet for Black Carrion Beetles or Nicrophorus humator. Lat night I had a high count of 4!

Moth wise, it was bare bones again-
  1. Clouded Drab- 2
  2. Hebrew Character
  3. Common Quaker
  4. Small Quaker

  1. Hi Matt
    Could you confirm my blog is working now?? I'm sure the Moths will begin to start to pick up soon, only the last few times have I seen an improvement in numbers.
