Nothing unfortunately, but there was what looked like a fly flitting about the lure in the sunshine. As I got nearer, it was clear that is was a moth from the way that it was flying.
It was to be a year first Mompha jurassicella, a recent colonist in my garden here in Stevenage and previously quite rare in the County.
I have now recorded it four years in a row, usually in the daytime as it seldom comes to light here.
The trap last night yielded just 3 moths, 1 each of Hebrew Character, Common Quaker & Clouded Drab.
The trap is on again tonight, but the temperature has alreasy dropped again sadly.
Garden species count for 2020 now upto 25.
