On Friday we trapped at Staple Common and had a really good evening. Despite the threat of rain, the heavens did not open on us and we caught some nice specimens. What was really good to see was some new faces among the usual suspects. As work has kept me from attending many meetings for a while now I felt quite new myself. Highlights were: Waved Carpet, with several being caught at the three lights nearest the road, Red necked Footman, two caught at the far end of the track and a Four Spotted Footman caught by David. Some people will return their full lists by next week so there may be some surprises yet. I look forward to the road through the wood being extended and it looks as though work on this project has begun. It will be interesting to see what this site turns up in future years.
