A good night though last night, with numbers on the increase. Still only two Hawk-moths in the garden so f,ar but I suppose it is still early for this rather snails-pace year.
For instance Treble lines is a garden first and I have had to wait almost 3 weeks later than trapping them in other locations this year.
Green Silver-lines was lovely to see, all in all 6 were new for the garden and one example of the migrant Plutella xylostella was new for the year.
56 moths of 28 species
