Summary[edit]

Description

Last night I decided to put my trap on again and hope for some more different species, and with last nights species in a tub so as not re-capture them. 3 new species were added to the year list plus a bagworm, so not bad at all.

17 moths of 12 species with a case of Psyche casta making it 18 species, very pleasing indeed.

Highlight of the night was a garden first May Highflyer, a moth that I have only ever seen 3 times before in 10 years, I never realised how scarce my records were of this species.

Here are my records

So a really great record for my garden and my best moth this year so far, it was a right pain to photograph as it just would not settle for starter's and when it did settle it was wings like a butterfly! Thankfully it did splay out but on the lid of my pot. I will try tomorrow for a moth natural shot.

I will be giving the moths a break tonight as it is supposed to be wet at times.
