Species List for 26/08/2026

 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. I didn't use "Sam's  Trap" and in putting out the Front Garden Actinic ratherlate, and in the dark, I managed to leave so moths could't enter the main trap, so just a fe on the outside. There were 277 moths of 68 species with two NFY. The two Rhodophaea formosa were just my fourth record.
