Although it has not been possible to get the moth trap out each night, the diversity of moths has increased over the past few days.
Two striking species were seen this week, the larvae of Streamer feed on dog rose and prefers woodland edges and it flies during April and May. Chocolate tip larvae feed on Poplar and sallow, the Alderney population has two flight periods, April and May, then again during August and September.
