Paltry Pickings

Not much happening with the moths in my garden at the moment.

We are still importing cool easterlies and the wind has been something else, a reminder that we really still are in the depths of spring, warm days and cold nights ensue.

Last night I ran the trap for 10 hours for 7 species!

Only one was new, the ever reliable Garden Pebble. 

It's all on Friday night, then it goes a bit rubbish again.
