Private Moth Holiday
North East Hungary Moth Report
June 19 ~ July 4 2007
This report provides details of the moths observed during a two centre holiday based at a bed and breakfast guesthouse in Tiszababolna, Little Hortobagy for the first 5 nights and at Farmlator, a nature centre near Saly in the Bukk Hills for the remainder of the time. The hosts at Herberg, Tiszababolna were Jan Freeke & Jeannette Benen and at Farmlator, Rob & Barbara de Jong. Little or no mothing was carried out at Tiszababolna as no moth trap was available but at Farmlator, Rob provided exclusive use of a mains operated Skinner type trap fitted with a 125 watt MV lamp. Excursions were made to the Bukk and Aggtelek National Parks mainly in search of butterflies but a few day flying moths were recorded on these outings.
