Moths!

This morning the main interest in the trap was provided by the intruders rather than the moths themselves. Among the weird stuff was a probable Water Boatman, loads of tiny beetles (Helophorus?) and a Cranefly.

Despite the promising cloudy and muggy weather forecast for last night, catch was rather disappointing. A Rustic Shoulder-knot was a first, though.😀
