An early morning moth trapping in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - June 2, 2014

It had been a warmer last night and therefore not surprising that there was more in the trap.  There were fifty-one moths in the trap comprising of twenty-five species but again no new ones, although there were a few new for the year.


The following were trapped: Light Brown Apple Moth [8]; Pseudargyrotoza conwagana [4]; Bud Moth [1]; Garden Carpet [1]; Common Marbled Carpet [2]; Mottled Pug [4]; Common Pug [1]; Freyer’s Pug [2]; Brown Silver-line [1];  Brimstone Moth [5]; Scalloped Hazel [1]; Peppered Moth [2]; Eyed Hawkmoth [1]; Poplar Hawkmoth [1]; White Ermine [1]; Buff Ermine [1]; Heart and Dart [1]; Shuttle-shaped Dart [1]; Bright-line Brown-eye [1]; Angle Shades [2]; Clouded-bordered Brindle [1]; Rustic Shoulder-knot [2]; Marbled Minot species [4]; Silver Y [1]; and Spectacle [1].
