Cloaked in garden, success!

The weather was not great again last night, but I thought a garden trapping might be worth it. Despite reasonably low numbers, my decision to trap was vindicated, as a Cloaked Carpet was in there, which is new to the garden. This is my second ever after seeing my first at Thursley 10 days ago. This is also only my second 'Notable-B' for the garden (other Horse-chestnut).
