Other night's moths

Had a very exciting day, a group of bank robbers dumped their car at school and the police heilcopter was buzzing and forensics were everywhere. Anyway back to moths!

Didn't trap last night as it was quite cold, although I did the night before (17th), where it remained 14c most of the night. Whenever it's this warm I know I'll catch a lot and I did!
I trapped, with the generator, at our 'wild' garden, which a few hundred meters from the house. (pics)
