Last after noon before setting up the trap a Hummingbird Hawk-moth Macroglossum stellatarum was feeding in the garden a species I've always wanted to see and have missed out of them so much but I finally see one in the garden of all places also the garden is on the edge of a town!

Last night in the trap I caught 5 Large Yellow Underwings, 1 Willow Beauty, 1 Setaceous Hebrew Character and a few more I need to id and I'll post them later.
