A better night last night with
133 trapped and identified covering twenty-seven species with five being new
for the year. One, Mullein Wave was a
lifer, with the last reference of a record for VC55 being in a publication ‘Victoria
County History’ published in 1907, making it the first record in over 100
years. You just never know what might be
in the trap but clearly this was a significant record for Leicestershire &
Rutland.
The following were recorded: Autostichidae species [1]; Blastobasis adustella [9];
Amblyptilia acanthadactyla [1]; Light Brown Apple Moth [7]; Acrobasis advenella
[1]; Mother of Pearl [2]; Crambus perlella [1]; Agriphila tristella [15];
Agriphila straminella [13]; Agriphila geniculea [3]; Riband Wave [4]; Mullein Wave [1]; Comon Carpet [3]; Double-striped Pug
[1]; Brimstone Moth [4]; Willow Beauty [13]; Straw Dot [3]; Mouse Moth [1];
Marbled Beauty [8]; Pale Mottled Willow [1]; Flounced Rustic [5]; Comon Rustic species [2]; The Nutmeg [1]; Shuttle-shaped Dart [1]; Flame
Shoulder [2]; Large Yellow Underwing [23] and Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow
