The Shade at Box Hill brings Triple lifers

Last night I ventured onto one of the best examples of chalk downland in the country, Box Hill. Trapping at the Zig Zag Road with David Gardner until 0:00 (I had to leave early), we got 51 macros in warm, but clear, conditions. These did include some real quality though, with two, perhaps three, new species. The best was an unconfimed Surrey Rarity - two Triple-spotted Pug.
