And so to spring

Last year, on Easter Monday, it started to rain, and it pretty much didn't stop for the rest of the year.

This year, it appears* that spring has started. This means that the trap has been out every night since then.

*I'm not the meteorological expert.

Over 8 nights when I've actually caught something, the totals are as follows with the max. catch per night in brackets.

2 x Tortricodes Alternella (1)
2 x Emmeline mondactyla (the common Plume Moth) (2)
4 x Yellow Horned (2)
2 x Brindled Pug (2)
6 x Oak Beauty (2)
10 x Small Quaker (4)
9 x Common Quaker (3)
2 x Clouded Drab (2)
12 x Hebrew Character (5)
2 x Early Grey (1)
1 x Chestnut (1)
1 x Dotted Chestnut (1)
