            The Moth Trap will be out tonight, clear at first then cloudy and temperatures down to 3°C, so will see what turns up.

            Here's a picture of Twin-spotted Quaker from the other day.

              Well...the Moff Box was empty last time out, so will try again on Friday night.

              Here are a few from last year.

                        I found this pretty one on the wall. Quite a big moth.
