From the garden trap - 15/03/2009

Yesterday was a glorious spring day, bringing the first butterflies to the garden for the year (1 male Brimstone, 2 Small Tortoiseshells). So after a few nights of either non trapping or blanks (save for a single Common Quaker on Wednesday 11th) I put out both garden traps last night. Total catch 33 of 5sp. (125W MV 11 of 5sp., 80W actinic 22 of 5sp.) Agonopterix heracliana 4 Clouded Drab 3 Common Quaker 11 Hebrew Character 13 Early Grey 2
