Garden Trap - 04-09-12 - Stevenage, Hertfordshire

Well what a difference a bulb makes. With similiar conditions last night to the previous night, this morning I was greeted by 73 moths of 18 species.

with 20 Square-spot Rustics and 19 Large Yellow Underwings making the highest totals.

Best moths were new for garden 2x Vine's Rustic and a moth I seldom see, a single Small Square-spot in lovely condition.
