Summary

[edit]
Description

Buff-tip very welcome and a much needed wander

Another fairly mediocre catch last night here in Stevenage with just 5 moths turning up to the light.

One species was added to the year list, a chunky Buff-tip, such an incredible looking moth that mimics the end of a cut off Birch twig.

In the afternoon I took an hour walk out to the local wooded field margins and managed to notch up 8 species swept from rather damp grass which wasn't ideal and disturbed from low hanging branches. I targetted a large Copper Beech in the middle of a field and was rewarded with several of Phyllonorycter maestingella and a single messaniella. An early Crambus lathoniellus was also nice, I reckon it'll produce a few more species this week as the temperature starts to climb.

Tonight looks fairly mild and importantly still, so the trap is out again, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Garden species count for 2020 now upto 93.

5 moths of 5 species to 125w MV Robinson Trap min 7c at 5:00am
