Summary

[edit]
Description

Latest from the home trap Here are the latest species that I've recorded to my trap this past week. I trapped on four occasions using the MV on warmer nights and the Actinic on cooler nights.

New Species and species of note for the Garden/Year Report - Back Garden - Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson Trap

Deep-brown Dart [NFY] (30/09/17) - After trapping one out in the field last Monday night, a big female (whom later laid eggs for me) I was very pleased to trap a male on Saturday night. It isn't a very common moth for me with just 3 records over the last 3 years.

Mallow [NFY] (30/09/17) - Another species that I took whilst at Ashwell Quarry recently turned up in the garden trap as well, the Mallow.. a striking good-sized Geometer. Again I don't have many records of this species in 6 years with just 4.

Carcina quercana [NFY] (30/09/17) - One of my latest individuals, in fact I was surprised to see that my latest was from the 20th of October in 2014 and the latest for the County as well.

Nomophila noctuella (30/09/17) - After a few records this year of the commonly known migrant Rush Veneer it was nice to get a vividly marked individual as all of the others were either worn or grey in colouration.

Ruby Tiger Caterpillar (30/09/17) - Yes, larvae also seem to be attracted to the mercury vapor bulb and the caterpillar was found curled up in one of the egg trays.

Acleris sparsana (01/10/17) - Into October and a lovely fresh Acleris sparsana was found on the patio on Monday morning, one of the best examples i've ever seen.

Blastobasis adustella (01/10/17) - Only my 3rd ever October record in 11 years of recording moths of this common species.

Treble Brown Spot (01/10/17) - A late record and 3rd brood of Treble Brown Spot was a nice surprise on Monday morning, with my previous latest on 22/09/13. In fact only my garden has produced a September/October record.

Luffia ferchaultella (02/10/17) - I found a tiny (4.5mm) moving case at work on one of the industrial bins. It's been a few years since I last saw one so pleasing to get it confirmed as usually they are bright green in colouration.

Red-line Quaker [NFY] (04/10/17) - A year first Red-line Quaker was potted up before bedtime on Wednesday, a regular moth to my trap and far more common than its sister, the Yellow-line Quaker.

Chestnut (06/10/17) - Last seen in February earlier this year, a pristine Chestnut was the only moth of note this morning with a small catch of 12 moths of 9 species.
