Last week from the garden moth trap

Not much to report at the end of last week, some nights I didn't trap because of continous rain and a brisk cool breeze. 
I did however pick two windows of opportunity on Thursday and Sunday night (17th & the 20th)

Both catches were really poor and with temperatures no more than 11c minimum, it wasn't very impressive for mid-June to say the least.

Year-listers still trickling in which keeps thing ticking over, even when the weather is rather against us.
 
Only new for year species listed below.

Moth species for 2021 in the garden now stands at 183.
