Maple Prominent

I had a Maple Prominent in my actinic trap this morning - see photo. This is the first I have had in my garden, in my third year of trapping. It came to the trap quite early in the night, and was already there when I went out with a torch for a sneak preview at 22.30 yesterday. The flight period is reported as mid-May to August, so this seems to be an early sighting.

    Hi John,
    A nice garden record and yes it is a little early. There are only two April records for Bucks and the earliest of those was 24th April (in 2007), so you've beaten that by a day!
