Summary[edit] Description: The onslaught slows down somewhat A more relaxed catch this morning with less hustle and bustle of recent times. Temperatures have been dropping over the past few nights to a minimum of 12c under clear skies. Cooler temps generally means less moths and it was expected after having such a long mild spell. Dot Moths and Dark Arches have gone as quickly as they have come, a similiar story to what other moth'ers are experiencing aswell. Still I can't grumble, with a few more added to the garden list. Correction, the suspected Caloptilia populetorum is in fact a Aspilapteryx tringipennella, still a garden first though and a new one for me.
