I’ve founded a sheltered spot for the trap tonight but I don’t think I’ll bother getting up too early!
By way of comparison, I’m also using a 125w mv light, in a Skinner trap.

Only night I’ve tried this May so far as it has been so cold.
Never seen that form either, so a nice catch.

The first three nights in May have given me totals of 7/6, 7/6 and 8/5 – all to MV (the only moths in the trap this morning were three E. postvittana!!)
I cannot recall ever having seen that form of Garden Carpet – it would have been a highlight for me too!
