   Jeremy Tatum replies:  I was at Cattle Point this morning, and I didn’t notice them!   However I went again this afternoon, and I found there about a dozen or so Garry Oaks with these sticky bands around them, presumably put there to trap the wingless female Winter Moths as they climb up the oak trunks.<\/p>\n

There were what must have been tens of thousands of insects and spiders caught in the glue, including many male and female Winter Moths.  I didn’t spot any other species of moth.<\/p>\n
