  1. Nice! are there many coming in? I did not do the night trick to atract them because the weather here is not very warm so I imagine there is not many but how is it in Holland? Posted 5 years ago
    1. Not many here either, note that this is from a few weeks ago. Our garden is small and in an urban area with lots of light sources and very low biodiversity. Posted 5 years ago
      1. Is a pity! maybe in August we get one of these hot waves for a few days and then we see more (?) Posted 5 years ago
        1. I definitely expect hot weather to return. There should definitely be places then to capture more moths, but our garden in general just isn't a very good place for it. Posted 5 years ago
  2. So beautiful <3 Posted 5 years ago
