A good catch last night
Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2020 3:13 pm
Plenty of moths in the trap in last night's mild, damp conditions:
18 x Snout
9 x Copper Underwing agg
7 x Common Marbled Carpet
5 x Silver Y
4 x Lesser Yellow Underwing
3 x Tachystola acroxantha
2 x Brimstone
2 x Light-brown Apple Moth
2 x Willow Beauty
1 x Barred Sallow
1 x Brindled Green
1 x Green-brindled Crescent
1 x Cypress Pug
1 x Red Admiral
1 x Garden Rose Tortrix
1 x Phyllonorycter sp
1 x Large Yellow Underwing
1 x Pale Pinion
1 x White-shouldered House Moth
1 x Eudonia angustea
1 x Caloptilia betulicola/elongella sp (Edit - might be rufipennella actually - TBC)
The Cypress Pug was a nice surprise! Might only be 2nd for Cheshire?
The Red Admiral, if anything, was an even bigger surprise - first time I've had a butterfly in the trap.
Cheers
Paul
