TL:DR – Update on moth species observed as part of my citizen science work on Lepidoptera.
The summer seemed sluggish, as it were, but last night’s lighting up session brought around 200+ moths of about 50 species to the scientific trap. Most of them I had seen and photographed before, but in the absence of novelty I will always try something creative with some of the ones I see, so these are all Summer 2022 photos of mostly moths I’ve snapped before, with one or two exceptions. As of this morning, I’ve recorded 30 species to the garden that I have not seen in previous years.
