FlyinginFordham: Just too cold at night

Still very cool at nights here in my garden of late, dropping to 9 or 10c and very damp early morning, the moths haven't been great, with just 25 of 15 species this morning with no newbies, but doing the rounds on my lure bucket traps did reveal a teeny tiny Pammene albuginana in the FUN.

Thursdays catch was even worse with 14 species, and no new macro species. Luckily there were 3 new micros for the year that saved it.

The Coleophora was retained. The markings, size and flightimes look good for either alticolella/glaucicolella and new for the garden.

When will these nights warm up?
