Catch-up time with multiple catches

It's been a week of illnesses again, but i've managed to flick the switch on the wall next to the trap during this unseasonably mild spell we are still experiencing.

I ran the trap all night on the 13th and 14th, and ran the trap on the 15th and 16th from 5:30pm until roughly 9pm (As we've been using the pull out sofa so the light is too bright to leave on).

In total, 6 new for year species have graced the trap this week, boosting my yearly total to 23 species, a full 4 species ahead of this date last year.
