A good species count for the garden trap Another catch report from the garden trap, this one was from Friday night and I recorded a blooming impressive 38 species! And 8 of them were new species for the year. Best moth of the night was for me White-spotted Pug, new for the garden and despite seeing it regularly on field trips I just could not get one in the garden. Grey Pug was back after last year's absence and just when I thought the armada of Plutella xylostella was over after catching 4 on Wednesday night, there were 22 in the trap come Saturday morning.

All in all a pleasing catch of a variety of moths for my garden in early June.
