By 12am it was torrential outside, though strangely the Moths seemed not to be bothered and a good catch was inspected in the morning (it was still raining!)
Highlight was a Garden first Minor Shoulder-knot.

You`re right about the rain not bothering the moths, Ben. In a way i think it helps by keeping them low, instead of flying high.
