Several new moths were added to the list this weekend, with straw dot moth, square spot rustic and rosy rustic being new ones. Also in the trap was a colourful beetle, nicrophorus investigator and a hornet. This didn't appear to enter the trap, but roosted outside, waiting for moths to arrive or leave. Several wing parts scattered around showed it had enjoyed a riband wave and green carpet.
The hummingbird hawkmoth appeared at about 7pm, so light was not good. Shutter speed 160th of a second and still the wings are a blur. This gives a good indication of how fast the wings beat.
