Warmer nights, but the clear skies and the full moon are keeping numbers down.
Brindled Pug was added to the year list after gen. det. results came back from Andy Banthorpe from May 10th.
I thought I had dipped out on this species for the 2nd year running which would be unusual for such a common moth

Warmer most of evening, temp dipping early a.m.
Bright full moon low in sky.
Calm evening was a good opportunity to net a few micros until dusk.
