A full moon with litle or no cloud cover, but still warm and humid.
Not the ideal conditions but I still recorded 7 more species for the annual garden year list/ wine race.
Heart and Darts filled the traps with a high count of 38, add to that 3 Privet Hawk-moths and there was little room for anything else.
A massive Hornet was removed from one of the traps, quickly followed by another which was also gingerly removed before it decimated half of the trap contents.
A Maidens Blush flew out of the top trap, straight into a spider web, unfortunately the spider got the bite in before I could release it and it succombed shortly after.
