It should at least stay dry with light winds, but it may be a little chilly for most moths.

Hopefully we’ll catch some though.

They are surprisibngly co-operative. When I empty the trap in the mornings they just sit there as I empty them into little pots and then I’m able to tip them out on a piece of card later in the day and most of the time they just stay put while I take their photograph.

Having such co-operative subjects certainly makes photographing and identifying them much easier.
