Catch Report - 21/02/12 - Farmland/Back Garden - HertfordshireThings are slowly getting exciting! with 2 more new species for the year but what was supposed to be a very mild night with minimal wind turned out to be sporadically windy and quite chilly and down to 6c this morning.Tomorrow and Thursday evening look the best nights this week to get some more Moth action.Catch Report - 21/02/12 - 125w MV Robinson Trap - Back Garden/FarmlandMacro Moths1x March Moth [NFY]1x SatelliteMicro Moths1x Agonopterix heracliana [NFY]

A trip down to Dungeness in Kent on Saturday night proved to be the coolest conditions we have experienced for a while, with clear skies, bright moon and misty air coming from the sea. As you can imagine it wasn't great and the moths were few and far between, but I did manage a few new ones for me. Yellow Belle, Pale Grass Eggar, Antler Moth, Celypha cespitana, Aroga velocella and Cynaeda dentalis were all new for me. There are still some Bactra's to confirm and a few unidentified micros to sort out.All in all despite the catastrophic weather I was pleased to pick up some new ones.

We had easier access this time to Bovingdon via a gate the otherside of the site and decided tosetup 4 traps as usual.The weather was warm and mild, and only hampered by the fact that it was a clear night with quitea bright moon (which set at 2.00am) Interestingly after the moon had set, moths were evidentlyflying in far greater numbers. As we were packing up it was a little chilly at the lower points ofthe site.It was still business as usual with lots and lots of moths, particularly micros.We were very pleased to get 3 Garden Tigers, our target species for the night. We also managed 15+ Coronets and 2 Purple Clays.Good micros were the Depressid, Agonopterix kaekeritziana, 10+ Pyrausta purpuralis and a singleexample of the scarce Thiotricha subocellea.18/07/13 - Bovingdon Brick Pits - Hemel Hempstead - 2x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x 160w MBT Trap & 1x 80w Actinic Trap run from 9.45pm until 2.30amMacro Moths2x Angle Shades5x Beautiful Hook-tip1x Blue-bordered Carpet8x Bordered Sallow2x Bright-line Brown-eye2x Brimstone Moth1x Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing5x Brown-line Bright-eye10x Buff Arches4x Buff Footman2x Burnished Brass1x Cinnabar8x Clay1x Clay Triple-lines1x Clouded Border1x Clouded Brindle20x Clouded Silver2x Common Carpet3x Common Emerald5x Common Footman2x Common Marbled Carpet3x Common Rustic1x Common Wainscot4x Common White Wave15x Coronet10x Dark Arches2x Dingy Footman1x Dingy Shears6x Dot Moth10x Double Square-spot2x Drinker1x Dun-bar1x Dusky Brocade2x Dwarf Cream Wave2x Early Thorn5X Elephant Hawk-moth1x Engrailed2x Fan-foot6x Flame5x Flame Shoulder1x Garden Carpet3x Garden Tiger5x Ghost Moth4x Green Pug1x Grey Dagger2x Heart & Club10x Heart & Dart1x Iron Prominent6x July Highflyer3x Large Twin-spot Carpet3x Large Yellow Underwing1x Least Yellow Underwing1x Leopard Moth2x Light Arches5x Light Emerald1x Lime-speck Pug1x Lobster Moth5x Marbled Minor3x Marbled White Spot3x Miller5x Mottled Beauty2x Mottled Rustic2x Oak Nycteoline2x Peach Blossom8x Peppered Moth1x Phoenix2x Plain Golden-Y2x Poplar Grey1x Poplar Hawk-moth1x Privet Hawk-moth2x Purple Clay1x Red Twin-spot Carpet10x Riband Wave1x Ruby Tiger8x Rustic1x Scalloped Oak3x Scarce Footman1x Setaceous Hebrew Character3x Shaded Broad-bar5x Shaded Pug1x Short-cloaked Moth5x Shoulder-striped Wainscot1x Silver-Y1x Single-dotted Wave1x Slender Brindle2x Slender Pug1x Small Angle Shades2x Small Elephant Hawk-moth1x Small Emerald1x Small Fan-foot2x Small Fan-footed Wave1x Small Rivulet2x Small Yellow Wave5x Snout1x Spectacle5x Straw Dot10x Swallow-tailed Moth2x Sycamore2x Tawny Marbled Minor1x Treble Brown Spot2x Uncertain3x V-Pug2x Willow Beauty2x Yellow ShellMicro MothsAgonopterix kaekeritziana [NEW!]Thiotricha subocellea [NEW!]Aleimma loeflingianaArchips podanaCelypha lacunanaCnephasia spCochylis hybridellaCrambus pascuellaCrambus lathoniellusAgriphila straminellaPandemis cerasanaPandemis heparanaAcleris forsskaleanaMarasmarcha lunaedactylaEuzophera pinguisScoparia ambigualisScoparia pyralellaEpiblema UddmannianaEucosma canaAcleris schallerianaPyrausta purpuralisHedya prunianaHedya nubiferanaCatoptria falsellaPhlyctaenia coronataPhycitodes binaevellaDitula angustioranaChrysoteuchia culmellaUdea olivalisPlutella xylostellaEucosma hohenwartianaDipleurina lacustrataEndotricha flammealisAethes cnicanaTeleoides vulgellaPhycita roborellaLozotaeniodes formosanusBlastodacna hellerellaPleuroptya ruralisLathronympha striganaArchips xylosteanaMompha epilobiellaYponomeuta eveonymellaEmmelina monodactylaMetzneria metzneriellaEudonia pallidaPterophorus pentadactylaEpiblema rosaecolanaCrambus perlella

Well the onslaught of the usual suspects is still going strong, but the amount of species turning up to the trap has really ground to a halt.I have just listed extras that I got on this night, that did not feature in the previous nights catch, as time is of a premium lately.Rusty Dot Pearl was new for the garden albeit extremely washed out, and heralds probably the end of migrant activity for now, as we are expecting the wind to swing around from the north.Another possibly good record would be the micro, Gelechia nigra. It is a scarce moth nationwide and there is only one confirmed record from Hertfordshire in 1890! Labeled as extinct at present.Unfortunately needs must and the moth has been pinned ready for genitalia dissection, see what you think, I hope I am right.Another good one for the garden was the Tortrix, Cochylis molliculana. This species is certainly spreading northwards, having first seen it on the coast a few years back, then last year on my parents farm South-east of here.Catch Report - 21/08/13 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson trap Macro Moths1x Lime-speck Pug [NFY]1x Oak Hook-tip2x Marbled Beauty1x Maple ProminentMicro Moths1x Gelechia nigra???? pending1x Udea ferrugalis[NFG]1x Cochylis molliculana [NFG]1x Clepsis consimilana1x Catoptria falsella2x Acleris variegana1x Carcina quercana1x Cydia splendana1x Evergestis forficalis1x Cacoecimorpha pronubana
