Well I decided to switch to my 40w Actinic Trap last night in the Garden to see if any different species would turn up.
There is alot of discussion about when to use certain bulbs, and the Actinic after much research tends to sort the better Spring/Autumn species out, I will look into this further and try to find out why.
It didn't surprise me to find a typical end of Summer/beginning of Autumn species in the trap this morning, in the shape of a Lunar Underwing.
