Description: Latest from my garden trap Last night the trap was out again, and before I went to work yesterday I potted up all of Tuesday night's visitors and popped them all in a large tub and on my way to work dropped them off in some bushes on my way to work the other side of our nearest woodland. This keeps the moths that I catch the next night, new individuals..of course this method is preposterous come the summer months when there are generally 'far more' moths to attend to. Another pleasing catch with 2 new for year species and 12 species in total. The day was again a beautiful one with lots of sunshine and temps up to 17 degrees, of course most of the night was clear but by this morning we have some cloud.
