I have been moth-trapping in my garden in Huntingdonshire, VC31 since 2003 and by 2017 had recorded over 830 species - the complete list can be seen on the Earith Moth List link below. The garden backs onto the Ouse Washes and is just yards from the Old Bedford River so whilst there is little woodland locally, I attract a wide range of species.

18th April 2009
A cool, breezy night kept numbers right down - just 9 moths of 6 species. New for the year was a very early Iron Prominent, normally not seen here until the middle of May.
Edit: This proved to be the earliest Huntingdonshire (VC31) record by 6 days.
Trap list (15w Actinic)
Emmelina monodactyla - 2 Garden Carpet - 1 Iron Prominent - 1 Red Chestnut - 1 Common Quaker - 1 Hebrew Character - 3
