2014- 434 species.
2013- 446 species.
This year, I have puffed and panted to 385. But can catch up a bit when I look for leaf miners.
Small Mottled Willow
What has been exceptional is the number of Small Mottled Willow caught this year. On 17th August I caught my seventh of the year; pretty good for Bedfordshire!
The list below is a combination of some late afternoon sweep netting and the use overnight of a twin 15w Synergetic Skinner. 73 species is pretty decent for August.
