My first post in a few years (I think) as I haven't been living in Carmarthenshire but I trapped at my parents' house in Salem on Saturday night. The big excitement for me however was early evening beforehand when we found my first ever Striped Hawkmoth resting in long grass on the lawn.

In the trap itself I had 280 moths of 77 species. Plenty of migrants: 42 Small Mottled Willow, Rush Veneer, Rusty-dot Pearl, Dark Sword-grass, Diamond-back and Silver Y. Highlights for me were my first ever Scorched Carpet and Privet Hawkmoth which I rarely catch.
