Little on offer

Another silly o'clock start with a Grey Heron, presumably the same individual as a few days back slipping overhead silently. Once again thin pickings in the trap with a couple of different caddisflies ( have to admit  I assumed they were moths!!). A Rush Veneer was new. Just Dark Arches, Riband Wave, Buff-tip, Clouded Border, Small Blood-vein, Buff Ermine, Heart and Dart, Green Pugs and one or two other micros which escaped the trap. A tatty Mottled Beauty was new.




















Placing the trap in front of a fence panel seems to do better in retaining some moths resting on it, rather than elsewhere on the garden.
