A big surprise!A much better variety of moths last night with new for year Shuttle-shaped Dart and Phyllonorycter messaniella.Also another Brimstone and Waved Umber turned up, it really is slim pickings at the moment.But it was all worth it!Biggest surprise was a Male Lime Hawk-moth, my earliest by 34 days! A garden first. I also observed 2 Adela reamurella in one of the bushes whilst watering the plants this afternoon.Catch Report - 22/04/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Lime Hawk-moth [NFG]1x Shuttle-shaped Dart [NFY]1x Early Grey1x Hebrew Character1x Brindled Pug1x Brimstone Moth1x Waved UmberMicro Moths 1x Phyllonorycter messaniella [NFY]2x Emmelina monodactyla1x Mompha subbistrigella
