Cold and clear but powdered came here

Cold, clear and a bit breezy and only 8 moths was rather pitiful, but it had been a warm day on Tuesday so I thought something new must turn up.

And indeed it did, with a welcome Powdered Quaker and also a year first Plutella xylostella, which was too flighty for a photograph and escaped!
