File:(1752) Purple Bar (Cosmorhoe ocellata) (5696092627).jpg

The weather proved to be the best we've had for a while, with a gentle breeze and warm temperatures we decided to trap at this location . Having never been here before I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised with 2 first's and a second of another species. Treble-lines proved to be the most common moth present with a good amount of Pugs coming to the various light sources. Easily the best moth of the night was a single Netted Pug, but for me personally seeing my first Treble-bar's were a delight, not one but at least 6 were seen. The weather did turn cool as a clear sky dominated above us, so we packed up at around 12am, with a cool breeze getting up as we packed away.
