I very nearly missed this Puss Moth which was sitting on a young maize plant several yards from the MV trap. Only the 3rd garden record and the first since 2009 - makes me wonder how many I've missed!

The highlight of a very busy night (94 moths of 42 species with two micros to be ID'd) was the second ever Puss Moth for the garden but there were six other new for the year. Two micros remain and can be seen by clicking the 'Unidentified Moths' link.
