MBT night 2

The second night with the MBT lamp was as much fun as the first, not quite so many unrecognised species but plenty of moths and another Poplar Hawk so I'm guessing they must be fairly common in my area of Derby. My wife took last nights catch to work 3 miles away and released them there so it's unlikely I'm catching the same moths as I did last night but you never know?.

The trap was out from 9:30pm to 3:30am
