Breakfast- 03-04-2015

After a two week break, the traps were back on. There seemed precious little point of trapping in the last week in March as it seemed unlikely any insects would be flying in winds gusting up to 60MPH.
Anyway, four NFY's was a positive outcome, although numbers of individual species are still pretty low. No shot of the Nut-tree Tussock as it was gone by morning.

  1. Similar catch here albeit with slightly less variety and absence of Red Chestnut which I don't get in the garden.
    Prettier DSP than mine!
    Cheers
