An early morning moth trapping in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - May 16, 2014

I put the moth trap out last night and caught forty-eight moths comprising of twenty species and three new ones.  I had put the trap out on the 13^th but only caught two Brimstone Moths and a Buff Ermine, so last night was a big improvement.  The new moths were Tawny-barred Angle, Pale Tussock and Early Grey.
