Low numbers but a sign of more variety on it's way

A pretty average and modest catch of just 11 moths of 7 species on Friday night, warm daytime temperatures peaking at around 21c, but again dropping to just below 6c come dawn.

This seems very low, but it is actually above average for my garden at this time of year! Some nights at the end of April in year's past, I was trapping 4 or 5 moths per night.

Still, it was nice to add two new species to the year list.

Garden species count for 2019 now upto 45.
