“Mothing’s like a box of chocolates …”

With apologies for the reference to the classic Tom Hanks movie quote but, for me, one of the joys of garden trapping is that you never quite know what you’re going to get. OK, at this time of the year there are the ever present Dark Arches and yellow underwing species that seem intent on upsetting just about everything else in the trap but this morning I managed to rescue two new species for the garden before they were put to flight – a female Donacuala forficella, and a White-line Dart. To be honest, I was actually hoping for a Cydia amplana but whose complaining. Happy trapping :-)
