Tuesday night wasn't particularly warm, hovering at around 12c at the coolest part of the night, but it was calm and dry, and so the trap was switched on at 9:30pm and run all night.
There weren't many moths come the morning of a pretty paltry 32 species, but it did include my first garden record of the Herald, 3 years in the making! A little tatty but very welcome all the same.
Other highlights included the pretty peachy Rosy Footman, two species of Pug (Again a bit worn and probably bedraggled by the sharp showers we've had recently).
The only new macro moth for the year, were a pair of Aroga velocella. An infrequent visitor here in my garden and right little tinkers to photograph with their darting-like movements.
The temperature in the day and the night continued to build as the week went on.
