Hi Greg,

Nice catch.

Poor here considering the overnight temperature was comparable with the previous night, with only 16 moths of 8 species.

Diamond -back Moth Plutella xylostella was NFY however.

Mel.

A good catch of 53 moths of 26 species last night with the gardens fourth Swammerdamia pyrella, the first since 2007 and the fifth Coleophora otidipennella, last caught in 2014.

3 Waved Umber & 4 Lunar Marbled Brown were both good numbers for species I don't catch that often.

Regards,
Steve
