An early morning at Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - May 12, 2017

The trap was put again last night and eleven mothers covering six species were trapped.  One I though was a Sycamore appeared a little too early and so I sent a photo to the County Recorder who responded very quickly.  He confirmed my identification was correct and that he had only ever received five previous May records and only one earlier than the one I trapped this morning, making it the second earliest every trapped in the Counties.
