Yet another warm spring enabled a few of us to get out and about around the county a few times in February. This came to abrupt end with the restrictions imposed by the outbreak of Foot and Mouth. The restrictions only started easing in May meaning that the SMG larval hunt at West Stow had to be transferred to Milden Hall farm (thanks to Juliet Hawkins for allowing us on her farm at short notice). Poor weather over this period meant that species were quite late in emerging giving the impression that flight periods were late and extended with numbers of moths recorded down.
