It's certainly warming up now by day, and also by night, with a respectable low of 15 on Monday night, the trap was much busier, omitting to do a full count because of work commitments.
8 new species was a good return and it included two scarce micro moths.
Elegia similella is represented as being the 878th moth species for the garden, and a second record for Cambs to boot. A moth that was more regular in broad-leaved ancient woodland in my old stomping ground in Hertfordshire.
Triaxomasia caprimulgella is a regular here each year in small numbers. A rare moth nationally but it seems to be happy around here for unknown reasons.
Best macro moth was the always stunning Green Silver-lines, which was only first recorded here in my garden last year. Scarce Silver-lines is tied with two records also.
Temperatures continued to build by day and night.
Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 326 species
