A couple of Acleris

A welcome duo of Acleris from last Wednesday, 1 in the garden and one disturbed whilst hedge cutting at work.

I ran the trap on Wednesday night as it was still 7 degrees at sundown, positively warm compared to any recent weather we have experienced lately. 

With just 2 moths by bedtime, it was switched off, by the morning there was a sharp frost, a good decision to pull the plug.

The ferrugana/notana was very welcome though and not common in my garden.

The trap remains off for the forseeable.
