The last few evenings on the journey home from work between 4.30pm and 5.00pm i've encountered many Moths (probably mainly Winter Moths) in the car headlights, as the temperature hovers around 5c at present.
Later on in the week could see as high as 10c at night and the dust may get blown off from the moth traps!
