Two Unsuitable Nights

The last two nights seemed particularly unsuitable for moths but there were still a few hardy individuals out there.  On Friday I turned off the actinic light at 11pm as by then we already had our first proper frost of the season here, but Brick (2), Red-line Quaker (1) & Sprawler (1) were found in the trap.  Last night was dismal and damp after a cold wet day.  However, by dawn this morning Common Marbled Carpet (1), Black Rustic (1), Satellite (1), Brick (1) & Beaded Chestnut (1) had ventured out to be caught by the trap.
