Another impressive night's work, Cordaline.
I think that's almost twice as many species as I've seen in my life (  ). I'd love to start trapping moths myself (this is now always the first forum I visit on WAB) but haven't really got the opportunity to do so at the moment. I'm hoping I'll get a chance to see how it's done at a WAB meet sometime. |

I wasn't going to bother & just say, " too many to count!"  but my assistant insisted they should be logged!

I didn't have an assistant so all my Water Veneers were recorded as 'lots' 
Nice variety of moths in your list. |

The EHM, Heart & Dart, Willow Beauty & Dark Arches always seem to be in good number!
I'm well & truly hooked on this now. You said it would be addictive after I made my first post some months back. How right you were!

I'm not seeing many Heart & Darts now, after them being the dominant species fro a while - but plenty of Dark Arches, Common Footman, Flame and Riband Waves. I'm waiting for the Large Yellow Underwing surge (although not looking forward particularly to it!). |
