I probably missed a trick by not putting the trap out on a very warm Sunday night, settling instead for a still fairly balmy (nine degrees C), Monday evening.
The result was a modest 27 moths of 15 species, but it did include a garden tick in the rather spectacular Small Elephant Hawk-moth. Almost too gaudy.
