A quick opportunity

On Sunday 17th of February, I packed my 40w Actinic hanging tube with me to my parents, in anticipation of picking up a few moths before we had to leave.

I ran it from around 5:30pm until 6:45pm and managed 9 moths to my 40w Actinic hanging from a conservatory door on my parents farm, all Agonopterix heracliana sp! 

Best surprise however was a single Plutella xylostella to the front porch light and my earliest record by over two months (Previous 30/04/12, on the Farm again).
