Friday Night Moths
Not a bad night last night in the moth trap. Light winds, a tiny bit of rain and temperatures down to 8ºC. There was plenty in the trap and I went through the contents with a few people from the Ceredigion Moth Group at a meeting we had today (I’ll blog about that separately).
There was quite a different collection of moths in the trap compared to last time I put it out with 10, possibly 11 new garden records for me:
- 1x Bordered Sallow*
- 2x Large Yellow Underwing
- 1x Mottled Rustic*
- 1x Yellow Shell*
- 8x Lackey*
- 11x Heart and Dart
- 1x Green Carpet
- 4x Elephant Hawkmoth
- 1x Angle Shades
- 1x Silver Y
- 1x Small Elephant Hawkmoth
- 1x Middle-barred Minor
- 1x Flame
- 3x Clouded-bordered Brindle
- 2x Oligia sp.
- 1x Ling Pug*
- 1x Wormwood Pug*
- 8x Dark Arches
- 2x Shaded Pug
- 4x Flame Shoulder
- 1x Marbled Carpet
- 1x Archers Dart*
- 1x Brown Rustic
- 1x Setaceous Hebrew Character
- 3x Pale-shouldered Brocade
- 1x Small Square Spot
- 1x Foxglove Pug
- 1x Small Seraphim
- 3x Broom
- 1x Pale Mottled Willow*
- 1x Striped Wainscot
- 1x Gold Spot
- 1x Heart and Club
- 1x Dusky Brocade
