They keep on coming including a return of the Dusky!

On the 27th of June, I was beaming with joy when I found a Dusky Clearwing in my TAB lure, after having it hang out for 2 weeks with not a sniff, and others catching it locally, I thought it might be a duff lure!
I've now put the lure away and replaced with some more excotic species on the slim off-chance.
 
Overnight, 4 new species for the year were noted, numbers were a bit lower and less variety, the wind was once again an issue.
 
Trying to catch up before the next warm spell arrives! 
 

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 492 species
