Nice one Stovie, beautiful arn't they. We have had a few in the trap this year............

I'm curious Jon, do you keep records of the number and varieties you catch in the trap? I'd be interested to know what you've seen this year.

In our garden, we don't really keep records, but do take photo's of them all, trouble is, I don't know many of the names of them, so I need to get an expert to have a look at them........
I do go out doing trapping with the countryside warden and a few others, in the area and he knows most of the moths, and we keep records too. He does a wardens report every year and I can show you last 2 years reports if you like...........
