SP9326: 07/06/11 - New micro

Fairly cool with a minimum of 7 Celsius.

Tinkered with the 'Ratface Special' by replacing the 15w actinic blacklight with a second 15w UV lamp.The result - over-subscription to the Heart and Dart disco ! Large Nutmeg numbers were down. The plan is to try this set-up for a while to see what effect it has on variety/numbers, if any.
Cyclamen Tortrix was new* for the garden.
