Although I trapped 96 moths last night, only one was new for the year, and it was also a garden tick. The very large
Old Lady was fluttering in the bottom of the trap dementedly when I first looked in, although it soon calmed down.

| Old Lady |
On release next to a fermenting apple, it ignored the gift and flew behind the shed to roost.
The best of the rest were two Garden Carpets, a Light Emerald (second of the year), and a Broad-bodied Yellow Underwing (third of the year).
Commonest by far was 51 Large Yellow Underwings, followed by 12 Square-spot Rustics, and nine Lesser Yellow Underwings.
