Time for moths again, I started tonight down at the place I work in the nearby wooded area but had to abandoned it due to excessive amount of midges present plus I had only caught 3 moths (see this LINK) so I relocated back to the back garden. Whilst I was setting up I had already caught sight of 2 moths (Large Yellow Underwing and Light Arches) on the nearby Buddleia.
I was reward with the relocation the morning after with 13 species for the night with 3 new ones
