96 macros moths of 32 species in the light and bait traps last night excluding one noctuid that I'm trying to identify. The main story for me was that my bait trap finally turned up an Underwing (catocala) species. Trying to see more underwings was one of the main reasons I purchased a bait trap so this is good news. The earliest I've recorded an underwing previously is late August so I'm hoping that this is just the start. It was a Briseis Underwing (Catocala briseis) so not a new garden species but a nice new species for the year.
