28th Aug 2011....Garden update

For the last week I could have put a ditto under the catch list and overnight temperatures with little variation on the catch and, "also wet", next to the 9/10 degree overnight lows.
So after a couple of nights of non trapping, I fired up the lights and traps last night and a Red Underwing duly obliged.
My third Old Lady made a brief visit along with two Silver Y.
Vine's Rustic, Large Yellow Underwing,Turnip Moth and Willow Beauty  made up the bulk of the macro catch.
Micro numbers are plummeting but Agriphila geniculea are still around in numbers.
