The Garden Moth Challenge: Whetstone, Leics. Update

Haven't updated for a while, and in truth I haven't done too much garden trapping since the last update. Cold and/or wet nights put me off and I had a few days away in Devon around Easter. Nevertheless, I've somehow managed to squeeze a few new for year species into the few trap nights and (along with one more butterfly) I'm now up to 56 species. Additions since my last update are:

Expecting things to start ramping up during May, though I'm also hoping my replacement 22W Synergetic ring turns up soon - someone in the household has managed to smash another one in the shed for me, probably whilst lazily trying to extracate a scooter without bothering to move the trap. Had to use my 80W actinic combo on 29th.
