17th May ... SubLime !

Had to put the traps on early (15.30) due to work commitments, but glad I did. Returning home at midnight I checked the traps and found this cracking Lime Hawkmoth behind the egg boxes in the skinner. Temperatures rapidly dropped to 4degC through the night, slowing down the activity to a stop. While working at a Tesco store in Norwich, I checked the fire escape route lights and found two lifers, Swallow Prominent and a Chocolate Tip
