Clear night mothing Tuesday/Wednesday 14th June 2017

With the first reasonable weather for quite a while I put the moth trap out in the garden, it was a clear night with a heavy dew.

Getting up at 3:30am to "close" the trap and retiring to bed until 7:30am seemed a great idea!

Disappointedly when checking the trap the sum total was six moths of five species!

Here are the best..
