Species List for 2/9/2014

Another night dominated by two species. A Large Thorn was the first of the year. I did have a slight problem as two of my traps, Actinic in the front garden and 89W MV by the greenhouse only ran to around 2 a.m. due to an electrical fault, caused by a water pump in a "pebble" feature in the garden. Unfortunately the tow traps are on the same circuit.
