Observations: There is a 1956 record of moths coming to sugar at Grafton Park Wood, but generally nowadays most records appear to be of singletons at light. The only exception to this that I am aware of is on 12 August 1995 at Whitewater Reservoir when several moths were attracted to m.v. lights running on the site.
