3 Lempke's Gold Spots

It turned out to be a little cooler than expected tonight with a clear sky and a bright moon which apparently isn't good if you want to trap moths?, the lethargic calm of the Large Yellow Underwings was nice though and they didn't appear to have disturbed any of the more 'interesting' species so I was more than happy with tonights catch...specially the 3 Lempke's Gold Spot moths which are a new species to my garden and beautiful to behold.

The trap was out from 9:15pm till 3:30am
