From the garden trap, 20/05/2010

A late update from last nights garden trapping (Thurs night).

Peaked already? Another mild night, but not as much cloud cover and it showed in the catch for the night - 47 of 24 sp. (125W MV 26 of 17, 80W actinic 21 of 13).

The Large Clover-case Bearer seems early, but at c20mm wing-span it is unmistakeably this species.
