Species List for 03/06/2022

 A very strange catch of 155 moths of 37 species and one NFY. Howeer there were 63 Green Oak Tortrix moths, a species I normally catch in small numbers. The phenomenon seems to have been widespread, at least in Kent, with many reporting exceptional numbers of this species.
