Even though it is mid winter and I put the trap away on 03.12.15, due to exceptionally mild conditions, I got it out again on the 15th and last night eventually scored with a capture. Nothing too exotic such as has been trapped elsewhere, but a spring usher in December is, indeed a good find, so worth the effort. Due to not starting mothing until March this year, this moth constitutes a new for year record, 218th macro for the year and 429th species for the year. Looking to be a little colder from now on, so trap may well go away again until warm Jan or Feb nights,
