Breezy 20th encouraging at Hollesley

Wondered if it was a silly idea putting the traps out with gusty conditions last night but the catch was better than expected. Still relatively low numbers and 21 species but showing progress. The first cockchafer turned up. Prominents evident as Great, Pebble, Pale, Swallow and Lesser Swallow. Chocolate-tip quite numerous this year. Firsts for the year were Spectacle, Shears (one of them white), Privet Hawk-moth, Common Pug, Green Carpet and Platyedra subcinerea. Still have an occasional Orthosia. Keeping my fingers crossed for the rest of May.
