A big surprise!A much better variety of moths last night with new for year Shuttle-shaped Dart and Phyllonorycter messaniella.Also another Brimstone and Waved Umber turned up, it really is slim pickings at the moment.But it was all worth it!Biggest surprise was a Male Lime Hawk-moth, my earliest by 34 days! A garden first. I also observed 2 Adela reamurella in one of the bushes whilst watering the plants this afternoon.Catch Report - 22/04/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Lime Hawk-moth [NFG]1x Shuttle-shaped Dart [NFY]1x Early Grey1x Hebrew Character1x Brindled Pug1x Brimstone Moth1x Waved UmberMicro Moths 1x Phyllonorycter messaniella [NFY]2x Emmelina monodactyla1x Mompha subbistrigella

Welcome Wetland WandererAnother warm and muggy night on Sunday night (A bit behind with reports!) and yet another opportunity to trap...when will these warm and sultry evenings end? Possibly tomorrow with clearing skies forecast but with such high daytime temperatures still on the cards the forecasters are still suggesting minimums of 14 degrees all week.Easily the best moth of the night was a pristine Silky Wainscot, a bit of a shock really. Is it a primary migrant or a wanderer, I think I will go with the latter.Another good moth for the garden was a beautiful Bordered Pug.I also managed to get the magnifying glass out and pot up a tiny micro moth that turned out to be a first for me Bucculatrix ulmella.Conobathra repandana was also nice to see, as I missed out on one last year having previously seen one on the 17th August 2012Rhyacionia buoliana and Eucosma obumbratana also boosting the garden list.Catch Report - 20/07/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Silky Wainscot [NFG]1x Bordered Pug [NFG]1x Least Yellow Underwing [NFG]1x Dusky Sallow [NFY]1x Oak Hook-tip [NFY]2x Ruby Tiger [NFY]2x Black Arches3x Bright-line Brown-eye1x Brimstone Moth2x Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing1x Buff Arches3x Cabbage Moth1x Clay2x Clouded Silver1x Common Emerald 2x Common Footman8x Common Rustic4x Dark Arches35x Dot Moth1x Double Square-spot4x Dun-bar1x Early Thorn1x Flame Shoulder2x Garden Carpet 1x Green Pug1x Heart & Club3x Heart & Dart2x July Highflyer1x Large Yellow Underwing4x Least Carpet2x Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing2x Lesser Yellow Underwing1x Maple Prominent3x Maple Pug1x Marbled Beauty1x Mottled Beauty2x Nut-tree Tussock1x Pale Mottled Willow1x Pebble Prominent1x Peppered Moth2x Privet Hawk-moth1x Red Twin-spot Carpet20x Riband Wave1x Rustic4x Scalloped Oak1x Shuttle-shaped Dart1x Silver-Y1x Slender Brindle1x Small Emerald1x Small Fan-footed Wave2x Smoky Wainscot1x Spectacle1x Straw Dot3x Uncertain3x Willow Beauty3x Yellow-tailMicro Moths 1x Bucculatrix ulmella [NEW!]1x Eucosma obumbratana [NFG]1x Rhyacionia buoliana [NFG]1x Conobathra repandana [NFY]1x Phyllonorycter harrisella [NFY]1x Pammene fasciana [NFY]1x Bryotropha affinis1x Bryotropha terrella1x Eurrhypara hortulata2x Argyrotaenia ljungiana1x Celypha striana1x Coleophora sp2x Aphomia sociella1x Emmelina monodactyla1x Argyesthia goedartella1x Acleris schalleriana2x Yponomeuta evonymella1x Agriphila straminella1x Cameraria ohridella1x Batia unitella1x Acleris forsskaleana10x Plutella xylostella3x Oegoconia sp4x Pleuroptya ruralis1x Tischeria ekebladella1x Evergestis forficalis1x Orthopygia glaucinalis1x Aphelia paleana1x Hofmannophila pseudospretella20x Endotricha flammealis1x Clepsis consimilana3x Spilonota ocellana1x Phycita roborella2x Udea prunalis1x Pandemis corylana1x Amblyptilia acanthadactyla1x Trachycera suavella1x Aphelia paleana5x Eudonia mercurella1x Ditula angustiorana10x Chrysoteuchia culmella5x Dipleurina lacustrata1x Carcina quercana

Garden Catch - 31-07-14 - Bye Bye July - New Camera heralds a new era for moth photographs...here is hoping anyway!

Gladsaxe Municipality, Hovedstaden, Denmark

A tidy catch last night with 4 new for the garden and 1 new for the year, leading me upto 60 Macro's and 23 Micro's for the year, a grand total of 83 species for the year and nearing that 100 mark but I still feel quite a way off and we are nearly at July!I will probably try again tonight, and then I will have a break Tuesday night as I will be out trapping with the generator.Once again the photos will have to wait as it is still incredibly dark out there and has just started to rain.Catch Report - 16/06/13 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson trapMacro Moths1x Ingrailed Clay [NFG]1x Marbled Minor [NFG]1x Oak-tree Pug [NFG]1x Rustic Shoulder-knot2x Brimstone Moth1x Green Carpet2x Heart & Dart1x Double-striped Pug2x Grey Pug3x Common Pug1x Pale Mottled Willow1x Bright-line Brown-eye3x Common SwiftMicro moths1x Eurrhypara hortulata [NFG]1x Caloptilia alchimiella [NFY]1x Epiblema cynosbatella

On Thursday night I joined Graham Bailey and Don Down and a few others for our contribution to national moth night(s)It had been a whole year nearly since I last came down this way, and it was nice to be back.The trapping conditions looked pretty good, we did not have the cloud cover that I was blessed with on the previous night in Bedfordshire, but the temperatures were very warm and for the rest of the evening it stayed warm.We set up 7 traps in high anticipation of a bucket load of moths. Unfortunately it wasn't to be. The moths (particularly the macro's) were very slow turning up to the lamps.And even after a full two hours, apart from nearly 40 species of micro moths we had only noted around 15 macro species!What on earth was going wrong!Luckily all was not lost as we did manage the target species, all 4 of them... the elusive Olive Crescent which is only know from a few sites nationwide, this being one of them and naturally i'd rather protect the sites identity from possible collector's!It was also nice to see a few Festoons which were really freshly hatched.Along with the Olive Crescent, there were plenty of Lead-coloured Pugs and Opsibotys fuscalis, all three species being new for meCatch Report - 03/07/14 - Essex - 1x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x 160w MBT Robinson Trap & 1x 80w Actinic Suitcase Trap.Numbers below are approximate50 Macros and 57 Micros ( 107 species)Macro Moths4x Black Arches3x Brimstone Moth2x Buff Arches2x Buff Ermine10x Buff Footman2x Buff-tip5x Clouded Border10x Clouded Silver2x Common Carpet2x Common Emerald3x Common Footman1x Common Marbled Carpet2x Common White Wave3x Double Square-spot2x Dun-bar3x Engrailed1x Festoon1x Flame2x Flame Carpet2x Flame Shoulder1x Green Pug2x Green Silver-lines2x July Highflyer1x Large Emerald3x Lead-coloured Pug [NEW!]2x Marbled Minor3x Marbled White Spot5x Mottled Beauty3x Olive Crescent [NEW!]5x Orange Moth2x Peach Blossom1x Peacock Moth2x Peppered Moth5x Riband Wave5x Rosy Footman2x Scarce Footman1x Scorched Carpet2x Scorched Wing10x Single-dotted Wave2x Slender Brindle3x Small Fan-foot20+ Small Fan-footed Wave1x Small White Wave1x Small Yellow Wave2x Snout3x Swallow-tailed Moth1x Tawny-barred Angle2x Treble Brown Spot5x Uncertain1x Yellow ShellMicro Moths 1x Blastobasis lacticolella1x Orthopygia glaucinalis2x Endotricha flammealis1x Batia unitella1x Batia lunaris1x Incurvaria oehlmanniella1x Caloptilia robustella2x Parachronistis albiceps5x Celypha lacunana2x Eudonia mercurella2x Tortrix viridana1x Ditula angustiorana2x Epagoge grotiana10x Carcina quercana15+ Aleimma loeflingiana5x Gypsonoma dealbana1x Stigmella aurella10x Zeiraphera isertana1x Coleophora sp5x Chrysoteuchia culmella2x Hedya pruniana1x Ypsolopha ustella1x Ypsolopha dentella1x Aphomia sociella2x Celypha striana2x Archips crataegana5x Conobathra repandana2x Cydia splendana5x Epinotia brunnichana2x Scoparia ambigualis1x Catoptria pinella2x Batrachedra praenangusta 3x Teleoides luculella2x Epiblema uddmanniana2x Cnephasia sp1x Hofmannophila pseudospretella5x Argyresthia brockeella2x Pseudargyrotoza conwagana1x Emmetia marginea2x Acleris kochiella1x Amblyptilia acanthadactyla2x Archips xylosteana2x Udea prunalis2x Pandemis cerasana1x Pandemis heparana2x Eurrhypara hortulata2x Yponomeuta evonymella2x Archips podana1x Crambus pascuella2x Spilonota ocellana1x Epinotia biluna1x Apotomis betuletana3x Apotomis turbidana1x Caloptilia populetorum1x Epinotia nanana4x Opsibotys fuscalis [NEW!]2x Spatalistis bifasciana1x Epinotia demarniana
