You still need to scroll to get humidity, and it doesn’t show it hour by hour. Why try to fix something that wasn’t broken?

Can @mothiduk.bsky.social or anyone else anyone help me to ID this moth please? FW length about 18-20 mm. From 2 June West Mids. I've been through my field guides numerous times. I will probably be kicking myself when I find out what it is πŸ˜€

I’ve only just reached 200 over the 5 years I’ve been running a garden trap, so your total seems pretty good! A lot of the surrounding gardens are quite tidy, so that probably doesn’t help. I am tempted to splash out on a new trap … I only have a small 20W actinic.

Thanks, Rob. The detail and colours are really impressive.
