Fools Gold(Spots)

A clear sky again but a much warmer night tonight though still not a lot more moths around apart from Gold Spot moths of which I counted more than 20 just flying around the Buddleia, when I emptied the trap I found 35 in total(26 Lempke's Gold Spot and 9 Gold Spot) some of which I had to put in a separate container so I could work out which were which(see photo above). Just one new to my garden species tonight and I think it's a Flounced Rustic but with my reputation for getting things wrong this week it will probably turn out to be an elephant that had escaped from the local zoo and was hiding in the trap for fun! :0)

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