Put the trap out in the garden late last night / early hours of this morning, just before the drizzle started (about 0100hrs). I've never had a big catch since we moved to Longton but it was nice to get a few bits and pieces in the short time the lamp was running, including the Elephant Hawk Moth (above).
Update: Please see comments section regarding ID (thanks to Dave and Pete).
