It was wet! But never mind, there was no wind and the temperature was favourable, so there were plenty of moths about - too many of certain species, namely Large Yellow Underwing and Flame Shoulder, well into double figures of both in the trap. Still room for smaller creatures though, and I was pleased to see Caryocolum blandella, another species associated with Stitchwort, and one that I haven't seen for several years. Other familiar species from past years were Blastobasis adustella, Ringed China-mark, Scalloped Hook-tip, and Small Rufous.
