manageable numbers for now!
It doesn't get significantly more difficult where I am. It is pleasant and fairly leafy, but Magnolia, Azalea, Rhododendron, etc. make up a significant part of the vegetation.
The other weird issue with running a light trap in Denmark at this time of year is that the night is really short, and dawn is so early, that fewer insects make it into the trap, and more escapes before I disturb my sleep to check what remains.
does that count as a positive or negative (less to record, less sleep lost) ? ? ?
