A similar Catch

Last night I ran the Mercury Vapor Robinson trap again as it had been a very pleasant 12 degrees during the day with long intervals of sunshine and little wind, it almost felt warm.

By the evening it was still cloudy and mild, but by 9pm the sky had cleared with a bright moon and all I had for my efforts were two Common Quaker.
By the morning though it was thick cloud again and we had had some rain at some point during the night and at 5c there were more moths than I thought.
Both Early Grey and Brindled Pug were new for year and I finally got a Spring Usher...my latest ever first for the year!
