A more productive night than of late with the extra warmth in the air under the clouds and a collection of 36 macro species in the trap this morning. Pride of place to the Toadflax Pug, a garden first. I thought I had one earlier in the year but closer inspection revealed it was a small and very well-marked Foxglove.
Toadflax Pug
Early Thorn - a second generation moth following the first generation one that I trapped back in late March
Willow Beauty of a dark form, had a similar individual last summer
Ruby Tiger - not so many in my garden as some trappers get in the county but had a nice handful of records last year and two together this week.
