A new for garden species and a great catch Friday night and it was lights on! I had decided to do a field trip on Saturday night (more about that to come soon!)

Some lovely moths were attracted to the trap including some good records for the garden such as another Small Clouded Brindle (a different marked specimen this time), a garden first Tawny Shears (unfortunately washed out) and the beautiful (uncommon for me) Enarmonia formosana.

The weather continues to be warm but very windy and most nights are clear with a full moon at present..not perfect mothing conditions but it's still been pretty good.
