One of the main moths I really wanted to catch in my garden was privet Hawkmoth, and....

waheyy, found this beauty in the trap after the night of the 18th of May!
A few other goodies and newbies for the garden are..
Heart and Dart:

Pale Tussock:

Grey/Dark Dagger:

White Ermin:

Rustic Shoulder knot:

a few I couldn't ID, help please:
(thanks Melissa for the IDs)moth 1 (looks like a hedge rustic to me but wrong time of year...)
- Marbled Minor agg
moth 2 (looks a little like a Northern Dart but it's not...)
- Light Broncade
moth 3 (I have a few ideas but they are definatly wrong...)
- Marbled Minor agg
The Garden list is over 50 moth species, I only started counting this year so hoping to increase that!!
Nice work mate, Good luck at Arlesey NR tonight!
