Lee Mount 27/28th July

With the forecast for thunder and heavy rain during the night I was tempted to avoid leaving the trap on, but I resisted and chanced it and fortunately it didn't rain heavy here until around 7 am.

When I checked the trap I was pleased I had left it on with the 3rd record for here.
My first was 27th July 2016 then one again on 8th July 2017. I think Andy had a couple in 2017 as well ?
