Who needs a trap? I opened the front door on Tuesday and in flew our first moth of the year and a garden tick too! Thanks to the extremely impressive new Northumberland Moths website, which I have to say is probably one of, if not the, best county moth website going, it was quickly identified on Wednesday as a Chestnut. The second commonest moth in flight in Northumberland in February.I wouldn't have known that if not for the aforementioned site and even if you only have the vaguest of interests in things moth I'd go and have a root around and bookmark it.
