The trap was again run overnight and another couple of new species were recorded with a couple more needing to be identified.

9704 Dryobotodes tenebrosa.

The new species were 9565 Agrochola lychnidis (Beaded Chestnut) and 9704 Dryobotodes tenebrosa x3. Another species I do not catch often was 7504 Watsonalla uncinula (Spiny Hook-tip) which is very similar to the Oak hook-tip back in the UK.
