Enarmonia formosana, the Cherry-bark Moth, was a garden tick whilst the stunning Large Emerald was just the second record here, last seen in 2005. Silky Wainscot is an occasional visitor but I've not recorded the form wismariensis before and a male Schoenobius gigantella is unusual in the trap.
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.

114 species must be close to a record for a single night here, although the quantity of individual moths remains quite low - just 320.
