The moths are back.

I’ve been putting the moth light out occasionally, but until the other night had attracted virtually nothing. This time though it was slightly warmer and three familiar ones came in, two geometrids and an oecophorid, and last night some more geometrids arrived, so it looks as if things are starting to move on the lepidoptera front after the winter hiatus.
