Moths of April

I managed to run the trap a total of 5 times in April 3 times all night 5th and 10th both stopped at around 11.30 and the 11th, 19th and 20th were all nighters.

I caught only 10 species but 3 of which were lifers Early Grey, Pale Pinion and Many Plumed Moth.

My total number of species caught in the Garden up to the end of April is 15.

I also added the Emperor Moth to the life list on the 12th April as mentioned in a previous post.
