Superb night in the rain

Well it absolutely poured down last night, the egg trays were sodden inside and out, but with rain comes cloudy skies and generally at this time of year it's relatively warm even when it is raining.
I am glad I put the trap out as 46 species were recorded this morning at 5am, with 51 Heart & Dart making up most of the catch.

Best of the bunch were Treble Brown Spot and Aleimma loeflingiana.
