Put the trap out last night, the minimum temperature being 6.1C. The 35 moths of 14 species present this morning being a little better than expected.
Two Dark Arches were my earliest ever here as was a Double Square-spot. Also new for the year were was a Buff Ermine and a Pebble Prominent. The majority of the moths present were Heart and Darts, with 19 in total. Noticable by their absence, not one
geometrid last night, not a sniff of a pug, carpet or wave.
