Works trap - 09/05/22

On Monday night I ran my mini actinic trap at work as it was an exceptionally mild night (as per my previous post)
But despite this, there was relatively few moths in and around the trap.
I never seem to get massive numbers in the cemetery, maybe it's the 20w Wemlites? I think i'll try my MV trap there at some point on another warm night.
 
A Dichrorampha was retained for dissection.
 
I'm running it again tonight just to see whats about.

Below is the list, nice to see some different species.
