Description:

We had easier access this time to Bovingdon via a gate the otherside of the site and decided to setup 4 traps as usual. The weather was warm and mild, and only hampered by the fact that it was a clear night with quite a bright moon (which set at 2.00am) Interestingly after the moon had set, moths were evidently flying in far greater numbers. As we were packing up it was a little chilly at the lower points of the site. It was still business as usual with lots and lots of moths, particularly micros. We were very pleased to get 3 Garden Tigers, our target species for the night. We also managed 15+ Coronets and 2 Purple Clays. Good micros were the Depressid, Agonopterix kaekeritziana, 10+ Pyrausta purpuralis and a single example of the scarce Thiotricha subocellea. 18/07/13 - Bovingdon Brick Pits - Hemel Hempstead - 2x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x 160w MBT Trap & 1x 80w Actinic Trap run from 9.45pm until 2.30am Macro Moths 2x Angle Shades 5x Beautiful Hook-tip 1x Blue-bordered Carpet 8x Bordered Sallow 2x Bright-line Brown-eye 2x Brimstone Moth 1x Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing 5x Brown-line Bright-eye 10x Buff Arches 4x Buff Footman 2x Burnished Brass 1x Cinnabar 8x Clay 1x Clay Triple-lines 1x Clouded Border 1x Clouded Brindle 20x Clouded Silver 2x Common Carpet 3x Common Emerald 5x Common Footman 2x Common Marbled Carpet 3x Common Rustic 1x Common Wainscot 4x Common White Wave 15x Coronet 10x Dark Arches 2x Dingy Footman 1x Dingy Shears 6x Dot Moth 10x Double Square-spot 2x Drinker 1x Dun-bar 1x Dusky Brocade 2x Dwarf Cream Wave 2x Early Thorn 5X Elephant Hawk-moth 1x Engrailed 2x Fan-foot 6x Flame 5x Flame Shoulder 1x Garden Carpet 3x Garden Tiger 5x Ghost Moth 4x Green Pug 1x Grey Dagger 2x Heart & Club 10x Heart & Dart 1x Iron Prominent 6x July Highflyer 3x Large Twin-spot Carpet 3x Large Yellow Underwing 1x Least Yellow Underwing 1x Leopard Moth 2x Light Arches 5x Light Emerald 1x Lime-speck Pug 1x Lobster Moth 5x Marbled Minor 3x Marbled White Spot 3x Miller 5x Mottled Beauty 2x Mottled Rustic 2x Oak Nycteoline 2x Peach Blossom 8x Peppered Moth 1x Phoenix 2x Plain Golden-Y 2x Poplar Grey 1x Poplar Hawk-moth 1x Privet Hawk-moth 2x Purple Clay 1x Red Twin-spot Carpet 10x Riband Wave 1x Ruby Tiger 8x Rustic 1x Scalloped Oak 3x Scarce Footman 1x Setaceous Hebrew Character 3x Shaded Broad-bar 5x Shaded Pug 1x Short-cloaked Moth 5x Shoulder-striped Wainscot 1x Silver-Y 1x Single-dotted Wave 1x Slender Brindle 2x Slender Pug 1x Small Angle Shades 2x Small Elephant Hawk-moth 1x Small Emerald 1x Small Fan-foot 2x Small Fan-footed Wave 1x Small Rivulet 2x Small Yellow Wave 5x Snout 1x Spectacle 5x Straw Dot 10x Swallow-tailed Moth 2x Sycamore 2x Tawny Marbled Minor 1x Treble Brown Spot 2x Uncertain 3x V-Pug 2x Willow Beauty 2x Yellow Shell Micro Moths Agonopterix kaekeritziana [NEW!] Thiotricha subocellea [NEW!] Aleimma loeflingiana Archips podana Celypha lacunana Cnephasia sp Cochylis hybridella Crambus pascuella Crambus lathoniellus Agriphila straminella Pandemis cerasana Pandemis heparana Acleris forsskaleana Marasmarcha lunaedactyla Euzophera pinguis Scoparia ambigualis Scoparia pyralella Epiblema Uddmanniana Eucosma cana Acleris schalleriana Pyrausta purpuralis Hedya pruniana Hedya nubiferana Catoptria falsella Phlyctaenia coronata Phycitodes binaevella Ditula angustiorana Chrysoteuchia culmella Udea olivalis Plutella xylostella Eucosma hohenwartiana Dipleurina lacustrata Endotricha flammealis Aethes cnicana Teleoides vulgella Phycita roborella Lozotaeniodes formosanus Blastodacna hellerella Pleuroptya ruralis Lathronympha strigana Archips xylosteana Mompha epilobiella Yponomeuta eveonymella Emmelina monodactyla Metzneria metzneriella Eudonia pallida Pterophorus pentadactyla Epiblema rosaecolana Crambus perlella
