Moffs, wasps and spiders!

Some good moths in the trap this morning including a few new ones for me. Highlights were a Herald and a Buff Arches, both 'firsts'.
Herald 1
Buff Arches 1
Brimstone 1
Swallow-tailed Moth 1
Shuttle-shaped Dart 2
Bright-line Brown-eye 1
Marbled Beauty 1
Marbled Green 1
Flame Shoulder 1
Common Rustic 1
Copper Underwing/Svensson's Copper Underwing 1
Knot Grass 1
Silver Y1
Gold Triangle 1
Small Dusty Wave 1
Tachystola acroxantha
Agriphila straminella
? Acrobasis sp.

There were inevitably some rather cold and dopey Common Wasps in the trap because of the nearby nest, but I was surprised to see a male False Widow Steatoda grossa just outside the window!
