I attached a new Max/Min thermometer to my 125W MV trap and got the result of min 6.3 deg C. This compares to 6.7 deg C on the Langdon Bay Met Office site. A quiet night, but another Barred Tooth-striped record. I need to examine it closely to see if there is any possibility that it is the moth from 2/4/14 returned for a second visit.

This is the Barred Tooth-stripe from today. I can't see anything that would be contrary to it being the same moth as two days ago, but with two days wear.
