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.

14th May 2009 - nighttime
With heavy rain forecast I put the MV just inside the garage door - as it transpired there was very little rain so I ended up with a reasonable catch with several year-firsts.
Celypha lacunana: Yellow-barred Brindle: The Lychnis: Elachista maculicerusella: Not new for the year, but at least photogenic this time, Plutella xylostella - the Diamond-back Moth: Other trap highlights (125w MV):
The Streamer - 1 White Ermine - 2 Rustic Shoulder-knot
