Description

Majority of moths drawn to 5 UV lights or a LepiLED light (6 lights total) in various spots around the forest and shrubland margins. Also, quite a few caught in Shaun's Heath moth trap overnight. Two nights of mothing. The first was cloudy and mild with light rain. The second was mild with a clear sky. The rainy night was the better of the two nights easily!
