What a Gem

Another rather respectable catch here on Friday night, with 16 species present.

No new species, but the 2nd Gem of the year, a female this time was well worth the effort of running the trap.

This is the first year that i've recorded this species in the garden.

Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 625 species
