It had looked another good
night for moths and so I put the trap out again and caught thirty-one
comprising fourteen species. Three were
new, Case-bearing Clothes Moth, Ancylis badiana and Lime Hawkmoth.
The following species were
trapped: Case-bearing Clothes Moth [1]; Light Brown Apple Moth [5]; Ancylis
badiana [1]; Brindled Pug [1]; Brimstone Moth [11]; Scalloped Hazel [2]; Lime
Hawkmoth [2]; Poplar Hawkmoth [2]; Sallow Kitten [1]; Heart and Dart [1]; Small
Square Spot [1]; Bright-line Brown-eye [1]; Rustic Shoulder Knot [1] and
Spectacle [1].

Dave had also put his trap out
and called me to say he had caught a couple of new species for us. I went to Dave’s and he had kept a few moths,
two Waved Umber and Orange Footman were certainly new and two we were uncertain
about. One was a pug that was identified
by Andy Mackay as an Ochreous Pug, which we had trapped before but the other Anania
fuscalis turned out to be a first for the counties.
