Scarce Bordered Straw

I put the garden trap out for a few hours yesterday evening, with 5 moths in 3 hours. My prize was a Scarce Bordered Straw,

my first for a few years. The also-rans were Square-spot Rustic, LYU, Common Marbled Carpet and T. Acroxantha.

Perhaps I should have left the trap out overnight, because the forecast rain never materialised.

Hi all

My first post here to the group by way of introduction and to post a notable recovery from a trap in my garden in Aberaeron on the 05th October (haven't posted this until now as had some difficulty gaining access to the blog). This was my first ever Clifden nonpareil.
