Catch Report - 22/05/12 - Bayfordbury University GroundsAn excellent 41 species of moth I managed to record in 2 hours of trapping from 10pm til 12am at the University grounds inbetween adjacent woodland.The cream of the crop was a stunning Great Prominent, a first for me and one I was hoping to see at this site, having previously been recorded by Shaun Dowman at this site last year.It literally flew in as I was packing up! a stroke of luck I would say!Great to see more species on the wing, Broken-barred Carpet is always nice to get and a new micro was also added to my life list.The next few nights look just as balmy, the trap was out last night in the garden and yielded a good haul, more updates on that soon.Tonight I plan to camp out at a wood in Harlow with a few other guys to put some records on paper for a newly trapped woodland, so every record we get will be new.The weather continues to rise to 26c+ and dropping no less than 12c at night ,with the hottest day of the expected today.Catch Report - 22/05/12 - 2x 125w MV Robinson Trap - Bayfordbury University GroundsMacro Moths1x Great Prominent [NEW!]1x Purple Bar [NFY]1x Least Black Arches [NFY]1x Broken-barred Carpet [NFY]1x Oak Hook-tip [NFY]1x Clouded Silver [NFY] 2x Chinese Character [NFY] 1x Purple Bar [NFY] 1x Silver-ground Carpet [NFY]1x Common Carpet4x Brimstone Moth42x Green Carpet6x Common Carpet11x Oak-tree Pug6x Brindled Pug1x Nut-tree Tussock4x Flame Shoulder3x Rustic Shoulder-knot1x Pale Tussock1x Scorched Carpet3x Red Twin-spot Carpet1x Red-green Carpet2x Waved Umber1x Shuttle-shaped Dart1x Common Pug1x Garden Carpet1x Scalloped Hazel15x Common Swift1x Grey Pine CarpetMicro Moths1x Tischeria ekebladella [NEW!] 2x Aethes smeathmanniana [NFY]3x Elachista argentella [NFY]7x Cochylis atricapitana [NFY]1x Caloptilia beulicola [NFY]1x Amblyptilia acanthadactyla [NFY]10x Crambus lathoniellus [NFY]4x Syndemis musculana [NFY]12x Celypha lacunana [NFY]1x Diamond-back Moth Plutella xylostella1x Agonopterix arenella1x Monopsis weaverella
