Species List for 23/05/2018

When I looked in my 125W Skinner trap this morning I thought that yesterdays Lime Hawk-moth had returned to the garden. A closer look showed it to be a second, slightly paler individual. As well as the differences in pattern, yesterday's moth had some slight damage on the bottom of the right wing, which was the first thing I noticed. In addition there were three NFY.
