15 diamond-back moths were captured. No moths were captured in our other pheromone traps (turnip moth, silver Y moth, cabbage moth, diamond-back moth). There are 2 traps for each species.

We also caught 28 diamond-back moths on the carrot fly traps. There was a large influx of moths into the UK on 12th June.
