New moths from the weekend
It was a fairly windy weekend here and with rain overnight on Saturday, I didn’t put the moth trap out, but by Sunday evening the wind had dropped off so it looked good for a moth-trapping attempt.
In the end it was fairly breezy but the temperature only dropped to 14.4ºC so it wasn’t a bad night. This morning the trap had 126 moths in it from 30 different species, 6 of which were new garden records.
