Moving my trap under the kids playhouse seems to be paying off, as its more sheltered from wind and rain can't get near it, meaning I can run it more often.
Bit of a surprise this morning when I noticed this in the grass!

Sadly she was a bit scuffed up - I may even have trampled on her as I'd been over that bit of grass a couple of times before I noticed her! Will have to be more careful in future!
A couple of muslin moths were in the trap, with a water carpet nearby, and as I dismantled it for the day, I discovered this fella lurking underneath...

Another tick! So thats 16 species for the garden so far this year! Plus this rather worn pug from last weekend which I was bugging lots of people about on twitter last week - general consensus was Brindled Pug but I've really no idea! Any thoughts welcome!

Trap out again tonight - wonder what we'll get tomorrow?
