Nice to get some moths!

I trapped a couple of nights ago, and got nothing. Last night was not as warm, but I decided to trap anyway. Amazingly, I got 10 moths (+ a few micros)! Presumably, this is because it took a few nights of warmer temps to persuade moths to hatch out, or leave thier hibernation places. Nothing new for the garden, but some nice species.

Sorry about the ugly black rectangles, but I am using my new laptop, and I haven't got quite used to the photo editing software yet!

February Moths (Bill's stolen the best title!)

I have attempted to trap three times since the new year, but only got one moth in each. Luckily, one of those was a new species, and I also had a better night last night trapping 7 moths. A couple of weeks ago I managed a lovely Pale Brindled Beauty, and last night I got a March Moth, as well as a Dotted Border which is new for the garden.
