I ran my 22w actinic garden trap, last night and got 17 species, the highlights of which were:
Yellow Shell (common I know, but beautiful nonetheless)
Pebble Prominent (any prominent has to be on my list of highlights)
Green Arches (it's large and green- what's not to like)
Silver Y (some migrant action?)
The Rustic (first for the year)
Peppered Moth f.insularia
Buff Ermine

| Female Ghost Moth |
When getting into my car to go to work, I saw a large, orangey moth flutter out of the grass verge, so I caught it and released it onto some red valerian in my garden. It quickly settled into a vertical hanging posture and revealed itself to be a female Ghost Moth.
