The Garden Moth Trap - Saturday night

A lovely warm and sunny day which went abit hazy towards the evening looked perfect but a bright moon and cooler temperatures might have put the moths off abit.
Still a nice variety of species including first of the year of Least Black Arches.

Also two new Moths seen for the year included Chocolate-tip (a yearly garden regular) and the Micro Twenty Plume (also seen every year)
Both of these Moths were attracted to lights at work, unfortunately I didn't have my camera but am hoping these two species visit my trap these coming weeks!
