Counting Moths

Finally got around to updating the MapMate database this evening with my moth records - not that there was too much to enter. No point now in posting historical garden lists, but I will post the list from the excellent session at Warren Hills with Adrian Russell last weekend - 368 of 46 species being a very reaonsable return from 1 x 125W MV over a sheet, 2 x 125W MV traps and a bit of sugar on fence posts.
