Garden Moth Update 6/7/2013

Second trapping session with the 60W Actinic Light on Saturday evening was again very successful. It was a pleasant evening and so I sat out watching the moths coming to investigate the light. Frustratingly I watched a Hawkmoth do a circuit of the garden and not go into the trap. Despite keeping fingers crossed it was not there in the morning, so it was the one that got away!

Here is a summary of the catch. Minimum overnight temperature was 13.8°C.
