To all moth trappers out there Do you have any humerous stories regarding moths and moth trapping?any mishaps/memorable moments etc. I did hear of a trap getting hit by lightning once?My father is writing a book and he wants to include some quirky moth elements into a short fictional story #teammoth

Rogues gallery of all my new moths so far this year. I had seen Lime Hawk-moth and Oak Beauty elsewhere but all the rest are full fat ticks. At the moment I am 11 ticks ahead of last year. Light Crimson Underwing obviously deserves 2 photos and Red Underwing sadly flew off before photo #teammoth
