Latest from the home trap (A few days behind)

Things are really getting good now in my garden, still a little chilly some nights and numbers represent that at times, but new species are always welcome and nearly every night, i've been lucky to record some.
A rather reduced catch on the 1st of May, but 1/3rd of the species were newbies for 2024.
A very migrant feel with Silver Y and Plutella xylostella and a lovely big fluffy Pale Tussock.
 
7 Muslin Moths & 5 Ruby Tigers were garden total records in one night.
 
Very little if any rain in the last 24hrs, this looks set to continue this week, getting warmer each day!
 
Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 104 species
