There was a severe weather
warnings in place for tonight but the local forecasts suggested there wouldn’t
be any rain and so I took a chance and put the trap out. It turned out to be a good decision as it remained
dry and warm and I trapped and identified 209 moths. There were sixty-two species with nine being
new for the year of which two were lifers and another new for the garden. The lifers were Marasmarcha lunaedactyla
(Crescent Plume) and Catoptria pinella and Sandy Carpet was new for the garden.
