well that sort of worked, but can't see the photos inline. Only if I click on them. Maybe still in the works as a feature update?
Anyway, cool collection and a lot of moths for one garden!

Ah on jerboa I saw all the photos in line without the text description! So I added descriptions in text outside the link as well, but I guess some people might just see the text doubled now?

And yes big weekend - 200+ individuals. Though the garden always gets a lot, and the bulb for the trap gives off pretty strong light. All identified, recorded & released unharmed asap btw.
