New moth for garden. Species total 255.

After what promised to be a really good moth night, I was a little disappointed to find only several moths trapped. However, an early thorn was a new for year record and a mint example of a streamer made the early start worthwhile. An immaculate specimen still showing the violet hue that rapidly fades after emergence. This is the first record of this moth in the garden.
