Butterbur
During our September visit we noticed lots of Butterbur around Bampton Grange. I have tried for the associated moth in Norfolk on a couple of occasions without success. The moth is supposed to be best found by torchlight at dusk, when it is said to fly over the food-plant, but I had no success with that. It is also said to come to light in small numbers if the trap is set within a patch of the plant. I tried this on 4 nights and obtained a total of 4 specimens, none in particularly fresh condition, on 2 of those 4 nights.
