Count

Since the count is now well over 500 for the year and I don't remember sticking up numbers recently, here's a breakdown of what's been found so far. There is a notable lack of moth records as I have been concentrating mothing activity on another hectad. Numbers should quickly jump when the trap is put out though, with over 100 species at the lower end of expectations. Diptera, targetted at 50, may stretch to 100 by the end of the year, if not the summer, and several new species have been added.
