Last night it was forecast to rain so I didn't put the trap out and by 1am when it was evidently a mild night with a clear sky I was kicking myself....I didn't make the same mistake twice!
Tonight was very mild and there were a lot of moths around so well worth putting the trap out even if there wasn't anything new for my garden, there were a lot of micros so I got a photo of one of them(?) as well as a photo of a particularly nice example of a Yellow Shell(I think?...see photo above).
The trap was out from 8:45pm to 3am
