Species List for 27/05/2025

 Four traps. An 80W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, a 80W MV Skinner in the Greenhouse Garden and a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden. 100 Moths of 21 species with one NFY. After yesterday the weather looked so poor I nearly didn't run the traps. By 2100 hours the weather looked more promising, and although there were no rarities the catch of 100 moths of 21 spcies was worthwhile.
