14th April 2014 ... Garden traps latest

4 deg C and a full moon on a calm, clear night.
Very poor conditions for a decent catch which was reflected in the total.
Just 15 moths caught, one of which was a daytime micro and 5 others were Early Grey that seem oblivious to bright moons and cool temperatures,
The rest of the catch were recorded in the first hour of darkness before the full moon lit up the garden and the temperature fell.
A Parornix species was potted during the day from the patio door window which is probably "anglicella".
This has been retained for positive ID
Highlight of the Night :-
