Omg, it would have been such a good night for mothing tonight. Completely still 20oC overnight here. When going out to water plants at 11pm and the air is thick with flying bugs - like it's in the tropics. Happy bugs
It went amazingly well @SalixGold there were moths everywhere in the garden this morning, the trap was full and the fences were covered.
Ridiculous amounts of Large Yellow Underwing and Broad Bordered Yellow Underwing, lots of Spectacles, Common Rustic, Willow Beauty, Lesser Swallow Prominent and a Footman that might have been of the Dingy variety, plus loads more I couldn't identify.
Broad Bordered Yellow Underwing
Lesser Swallow Prominent
Don't Know but it was big
The Spectacle
And my two favs of the night
Dusky Thorn again
And saving the best while last and the star of the show, plus I had three of them
The Golden Twin-spot
Moving the trap to the top of the garden, behind the greenhouse, really worked, so pleased with that.

You should give it a go @SalixGold it's like Christmas morning checking the trap, so much anticipation and quite exciting if I'm honest.
I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
