Caught on Sept 7th 2009, in my garden trap. This is the fifth record for the UK and all have been east Kent, the others are: Sholden (16.08.04), New Romney (28.09.04), Greatstone (07.08.06) and Folkestone Warren (10.09.08).
Mothing took place on 192 dates, between Mar 13th to Nov 3rd. A 125w MV, a 15W Actinic trap and 2 Black bulbs (one replacing the 160W MVB when I ran out of spare bulbs). For some of the time I used 15w Black bulbs while waiting for new 25W replacements. All traps home made, loosely based on the Skinner design.
