Species List for 18/08/2026

 My Four traps, a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden, a 125W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, and a 80W MV Skinner in the Greenhouse Garden, plus a portable Actinic trap  on loan from Sam Perfect. Lots of moths! A warm, overcast, slightly damp night produces 696 moths of 76 species with one NFY. A pristine Convolvulus Hawk-moth was better than the previous two tatty beasts.
