8th June 2011...garden traps update

Quite a productive night with 2 garden firsts and 3 new for year moths trapped.
The blacklight flourescent in the patio window came up trumps as I potted a garden first FERN and a year first BARRED YELLOW by simply opening the door and leaning out with a specimen pot, I had to get out of my chair though.
