Lots of moths!

Post by PaulHopkins »

More like summer numbers in and around the trap this morning, given the calm night with min 10.7 deg C. Helped that I got up before the robins and wrens!

Nothing that surprising, though Cinnabar was NFG. Couple of micros still to ID as well.

48 Brindled Pug
42 Dyseriocrania subpurpurella
19 Common Quaker
18 Least Black Arches
12 Shuttle-shaped Dart
7 Hebrew Character
7 Oak-tree Pug
4 Clouded Drab
3 Many-plumed Moth
2 Red-Green Carpet
2 Oak Nycteoline
2 Double-striped Pug
2 Bee Moth
1 Herald
1 Flame Shoulder
1 Twin-spotted Quaker
1 Garden Carpet
1 Cinnabar
1 Light Brown Apple Moth
1 Foxglove Pug
1 Satellite
1 V-Pug
1 Pale Pinion

Cheers
Paul

The micros I couldn't ID to start with are both Epinotia immundana - I think!
