I thought last night would be a good night for the moths. Temperatures stayed above 15\u00baC and when I put the trap out there was no wind and some light rain. The rain eased overnight and the wind picked up a little but there were still plenty of moths in the trap this morning.<\/p>\n

In fact, it was the biggest catch so far with\u00a0 242 macro moths, from 45 different species, 10 species of which were new to me. There were also lots of micro moths that I ignored.<\/p>\n

Here are the photos of the new ones or particularly nice specimens.
