25th Feb 2011...Double-striped Pug

It always amazes me how moths manage to fly in the rain.
I have been in the car driving along in the pouring rain and seen moths in the headlights...it's got me beat !
Last nights constant rain got heavier as the night went on and the wind picked up but 13 moths were trapped/lured with 2 new species for the year.
