Some great species and a few firsts for me, notably Poplar Lutestring! Green Silver-lines, Eulia ministrana & Lesser Wax Moth Achroia grisella (this one had led me a right song and dance as it so closely resembled a Footman Moth) Thanks to the great people on Back Garden Moths for putting me right.
Plenty of other New For Site [NFS] species including both Seraphim and Small Seraphim
Again the 160w MBT bulb just edged it with slightly more Moths but both had a range of diverse species, and seemed to prove that in different habitats certain species of Moths favour different light sources, for example 4 Pale Tussock's were found in and around the 125w MV Trap whereas none were recorded at the 160w MBT Trap.
