The first warmer night for ages, so out went 1 trap despite the stiff breeze. Found a sheltered spot behind a hedge and the trap was very appealing to wasps during the night, which made me take extra care going through the egg boxes this morning. 18 species of macro and 5 micro. Topping the bill was Lunar Underwing with 12 individuals followed by Autumnal Rustic with 10. Late Summer/early Autumn moths like Frosted Orange, Sallow, Brown-spot Pinion, Beaded Chestnut, Black Rustic and
Ypsolopha parenthesella all made appearances. No migrants, but then the recent northerly winds will account for that.
