Afternoon. Warm and cloudy here too.
Latest on the chafer grubs which have now turned into beetles. We have four pheromone traps on the lawns which are supposed to attract them. The males think they are lady beetles, fly in and can't get out. These have been in place for about 3 weeks and so far all we have caught is one confused fly. 
This morning we noticed that the beetles are emerging from the ground but are the males flying to the traps? No, why would they when there are lady beetles emerging right next to them. The lawn is a fucking great shagfest. We've spent over £300 on this problem so far, and the best solution we've found, apart from the magpies, is to stamp on them! 
How's the chick Helen?
