A stranger in the trap


A pretty poor moth catch last night, it was a bit too cool, however I did find this stunning Queen Hornet in the trap this morning, what a fabulous creature it is.


What's more it turns out (according to the NBN database) that this species has only been recorded in Montgomeryshire once before, at Welshpool in 1964.
