Species List for 18/05/2022

 A good night, especially considering when I heard the weather forecast of heavy rain and thunderstorms I decided not to put the traps out. I had a change of heart and was rewarded with a good catch for a May day. 201 moths of 68 species  The Striped Hawk-moth  was the 5th I've caught here, but there were two New for Site, Dingy Shell, (there were two) doesn't look to be very widespread in E. Kent as an Alder feeder, mainly in damp habitats it is a surprising find. Syndemis musculana is also a first record, but may be due to an oversight.
