The temperature dipped a
little last night and consequently I only trapped and identified ninety-seven
moths covering twenty-eight species, two of which, Wormwood Pug and Purple
Thorn were new for the year.
The following were recorded:
Celypha striana [2]; Eudonia mercurella [2]; Chrysoteuchia culmella [10];
Crambus pascuella [2]; Poplar Hawkmoth [1]; Elephant Hawkmoth [1]; Riband Wave
[1]; Barred Straw [1]; Wormwood Pug [1]; Purple Thorn [1]; Swallow-tailed Moth
[1]; Willow Beauty [2]; Buff Ermine [1]; Common Footman [9]; Silver Y [3]; The
Uncertain [10]; The Rustic [1]; Dark Arches [14]; Common Rustic species [13];
Bright-line Brown-eye [4]; Dot Moth [1]; Cabbage Moth [1]; Varied Coronet [1];
Common Wainscot [2]; Heart and Dart [6]; The Falme [3]; Flame Shoulder [1] and
Large Yellow Underwing [2].
