I, like Paul, took advantage of the slightly better conditions last night and ran some traps in the garden. Checked them just before turning in for the night around 10pm and was surprised to find a Foxglove pug on the outside of the actinic, a very early record. My previous earliest was on 16th May 1997. Other moths of interest seen included Early-tooth striped, Purple thorn and Grey pine carpet (all new for the year). Numbers of Orthosias now dropping off here.
