Hot News from last night. I was trapping in my garden using my big 400Watt light in conjunction with a 125 Robinson and catching much larger numbers than of late. Maiden's Blush was a really nice catch but after emptying the Robinson and going out to check around the trap for odd ones that hadn't gone in, it was totally eclipsed. I lifted the sheet and my eye was caught by a mass of Large Yellow Underwings. I counted eight all huddled together in a corner then right next to them I suddenly saw a pristine Great Brocade just sitting on the soil. Talk about heart-stopping moments. I had to leave it there while I got to a pot large enough to accommodate it.
