Quite a few nights off recently, but with a warm front pushing in again once more from the east and the south simultaneously, the temperature at night rose.
Wednesday night it was definitely worth running the trap after a warm day and with lows of 16 degrees it certainly was warm enough for plenty of moths.
Still in that end of summer lull, but new species are returning after a year away, and old familiar faces are coming back for a 2nd or 3rd brood.
There were 3 new species for the year, 2 macros and 1 micro, very pleasing after very little lately.
Things continued to ramp up and Saturday night was an absolute corker.
Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 593 species
