The weather was bad enough for me to at first abandon mothing last night. However I then hit on the idea of running my MV trap at one open window of my "mothing" conservatory, and my Actinic at another. The first moth that arrived was another Rannoch Looper (the first four were still in the fridge). Not a vintage catch but a Diamond-back Moth was another migrant and the first Celypha lacunana and Green Pugs of the year.
