Nightlife

I got to 'play' last night with a small moth trap in the garden at Loughor. It worked quite well overnight as I caught a Pale grass eggar (Lasiocampa trifolii f flava), a battered Large yellow underwing (Noctua pronuba), several Buff footman (Eilema depressa), a couple of  spotted Yponomeuta cagnagella, several Beautiful golden Y (Autographa pulchrina), a possible Iron prominent (Notodonta dromedarius), a July highflier (Hydriomena furcata) and a Lime speck pug (Eupithecia centaureata). Nice to see them all flit off in the morning!
