My best trap of the recent warm spell last night (24/08/2019 - min 16.9 deg C), and by far my best for August.
264 moths of 42 species counted with a few lost while emptying the trap.
Sallow, Vine's Rustic and Small Square Spot NFY. Just about managed 100 LYU, but 23 Light-brown Apple-moths, 22 Agriphila geniculea and 19 Tachystola acroxantha were far more numerous than I would normally expect. Several very small examples of Garden Carpet and Yellow-barred Brindle were also unusual.

Hi Mel,
Still waiting for a Vine's Rustic to make it's way further east, maybe next year.
My trap was absolutely rammed last night 100+ LYU, plenty of Setaceous Hebrew Characters
(numbers way up on previous years). NFY Lesser Swallow Prominent and Centre-barred Sallow.
