From the garden trap - 06/05/2008

Another good species list from the actinic, though overall numbers are still on the low side with almost everything appearing as singletons. The MV is doing crap - I know it's not the bulb.

Total catch 22 of 16sp.

May Highflyer - not the smartest but also not a usual garden moth in VC55, though annual in mine


Least Black Arches - not a micro
