Field Trip - Bramfield Woods - 09/07/19

We returned to Bramfield Park Woods last Tuesday... well the other's did. My car broke down on the way, a mere mile away from the site, and so hoping my father-in-law would be able to fix it, he was called and on his way to rescue me. Unfortunately he wasn't quite fully equipped for the job, and so a trip back to Wheathampstead and then back again with a drill and some bolts to secure the intake pipe and luckily the car survived to live another day. I arrived at the site at 10:30pm and it was already dark under cloudy warm and humid conditions, the moths were everywhere and it took seconds for the moths to respond to each light as I fired them up, one after another. The temperature was still 24 degrees and not set to get below 17 all night, crazy... and yes it was a bit. With an estimated 1500 moths over 6 traps it was a busy night and we had to decide to start packing up at around 1am for fear of still being on site at 4am. I left at 2:45am and felt frazzled after the drama of earlier and the frantic action around the moth traps.

Below is the list, it's rather lengthy and features a mammoth 270 species, one of my highest species count in one night.

One moth was new to me (Acleris logiana) and another was my first Hertfordshire record and only my second ever record (Carpatolechia alburnella). Other ood species were, Gelechia nigra (4th County record, having caught the previous two from my garden), Capperia britanniodactyla, Kent Black Arches (3 examples( and Small Angle Shades (rare this end of Herts).

Here is the total list.

Macro Moths : 136 species Micro Moths : 134 species

Total : 270 species
