Wet night reaps rewards

Friday night before last (12th June) was a wet one.  I should have left my trap in the open-fronted woodstore but I didn't expect quite so much rain so had it on a sheet in the middle of the garden as usual.  Come the morning the trap was still going strong but things were a bit damp.  Any moths foolish enough to land on the sheet were swimming on it.  I carefully rescued as many as I could in order to preserve them enough to be able to identify them at least, and it was clear that a good variety of smaller moths were involved.  Among those that could only be identified once they'd dried out were Large Fruit-tree Tortrix Archips podana, Variegated Golden Tortrix Archips xylosteana, 2 Twin-barred Knot-horns Homoeosoma sinuella, Purple Bar and 5 Clouded Silvers, all new for the year and mostly in a pretty shocking state of repair.

Inside the trap things were a bit drier, at least for the most part (quite a bit of water had dripped in but most of the eggboxes were dry).  Perhaps the highlight and good to see in the garden were 2 Small Elephant Hawkmoths.
