Just
8 moths in my Stevenage trap last night to the Actinic lights.
1/4 were new for year (Green-brindled Crescent and Grey Shoulder-knot) and half were Plutella xylostella, funny old game this mothing lark!
Grey Shoulder-knot is a good moth for my garden, mostly annual but i've never trapped more than 1 per season!
Numbers have been very poor during extremely changeable conditions.
Below is last night's catch
Garden species count for 2020 now upto 484.
