Before the garden trap was set, a quick round the garden check didn't yield very much, just a few Grapholita funebrana to it's own lure, and then I saw something bigger sitting in the bottom of the VES bucket trap (The lure thart will hopefully also attract Yellow-legged & Orange-tailed) and there it was, my very first Red-tipped Clearwing (since then i've had another today).
This same lure was out last year for over a month, so it was nice that it's working this year.
The Red-tipped Clearwing has it's own lure (FOR) but I do not possess that one.
To the trap overnight were plenty of moths, again mostly represented by singletons. Two great garden macros were Blue-bordered Carpet and Bordered White, both uncommon here.
There were also two Coleophora photographed and retained.
The nights are hopefully getting warmer with the days also gradually becoming milder and sunnier.
