Well the gazebo was almost uprooted by the strong winds last night, as a result I was forced to take down the BLB tubes to prevent breakages. In the morning I packed it away to save it being totally written off! But despite the wind there were still a few moths. The kids netted a Pea Moth during the day and there were a few new macros as well. If I do any trapping tonight it will be with the usual 2x 15w Actinic/UV as I don't suppose this wind will slacken off any time soon.
