Not a great night, colder and very windy. Usually as the number of moths falls the MV does far better than the Actinic trap. This has not be so for the last few days and last night there was only one moth in my MV trap (Epiphyas postvittana). Two migrants, another Scarce-bordered Straw and a Delicate, also the first Feathered Thorn of the year.
Large Wainscot (Rhizedra lutosa)
Scarce Bordered Straw (Helicoverpa armigera)
