@@amyesworldcatherinesminime7945 yes variation amongst moths is very interesting particularly in species like the beaded chestnut. And yes the dragonfly was a surprise, apparently not attracted to lights so don’t know how it ended up in the trap!
@@amyesworldcatherinesminime7945 it’s possible but I’ve since found that bright lights can through them off course, they are not ‘attracted’ to it but it simply confuses them so this is a likely explanation!
@@amberdy12 thank you Richard. Yes I have to be honest I wasn’t expecting the clifden just hoping but it would have been nice. It’s still a very rare moth but is only going to get commoner, they are even breeding in South Yorkshire (I’m in North Yorkshire) so might just have to be patient!!
This is incredibly focused, incredibly neat, and just a tiny bit autistic. I don't know if you are also autistic, but you keep doin you m8. This is fucking AWESOME.

RUclips's recommending of smaller channels finally hit gold, this is pretty neat.
@@sonicbat0576 thank you very much for this comment, glad you enjoyed this video :)
Lovely variation on the Bearded Chestnuts, and the dragonfly was a spectacular catch.

@@Entomologymaxwell Do you think it was chasing its dinner?

Lovely trappings. Shame about the Clifton. Something to look forward to

Awesome video! :D
@@Xx1Garmadon1xX many thanks 😊
Wow, I don't know why this was recommended to me, but you seem to know your moths. I hope you catch the ones you're after.
@@mannyjohnson8383 well thank you for watching and thank you for the nice comment 😊
I live way too close to Manchester city to catch anything but flies lol I've tried so many times but the light pollution is really bad. :(
@@themantisgarden what sort of light do you use? I know someone down in London who traps moths on his balcony with an MV
@@Entomologymaxwell Just been using daylight LEDs mate. I've not put too much effort into it to be fair.
@@themantisgarden if you tried it with an MV I’d bet you’d get some moths, I also know that UV LEDs can work well too.
I first read this as meth trapping. Hahaha! There’s a few parts that need that
