Latest from the garden moth trap

Another limited catch on Saturday night, a clear sky and breeze again dampened the numbers, and with lows of 10c it wasn't a stellar temperature either.

Luckily there were still 5 new species to be noted and photographed. Nothing spectacular but the Snout was rather a smart individual, and the Blastobasis was a good find from my little boy, whom spotted sitting on the house wall in the morning.

A warmer muggier night saw numbers increase on Sunday night.
