Somewhat unusually I came across a tortrix amongst the childrens toys in the house - it was unfamiliar to me but I quickly established it to be a Grapholita species. The dark palps strongly suggest that it is G. funebrana (AKA Plum Fruit Moth) rather than the similar tenebrosana.
This species does not commonly come to light so it is uncertain that its occurrence in the house was related to my trapping two nights previous. Next door does have several plum trees so I imagine that was its origin.
