The moth trap went out last night for a few hours and in 2 hours I had over 30 moths of 22 species. There could have been more, but there were a few escapees as I was checking them today.
Having checked them all and with some very welcome help from Martin Cade (Warden at Portland Bird Observatory), I now have a complete list of species caught, with 3 new species for my Portland Moth List.
