13th May ... Latest garden Moths

Here are the latest garden moth catches for the last 6 nights.
Off to Rhodes tomorrow morning for a week, so it would be nice to record 5 more species for the year list tonight and hit the 100 mark.
...........
Last nights weather conditions were pretty dire and not only didn't I get the 5 "new for year" species to notch up the 2015 century, I didn't even record 5 moths of any species !
Oh well ..
