Hemel Hempstead Field Trip - 12/07/13 Last night David and myself paid a visit to Roughdown Common in search of some more species to add to the site list, and to hopefully find the Pale Shining Brown. In short we didn't get the target species, but it was nothing to be disheartened by, as we were actually running out of pots and energy to keep up with the amount of moths (particularly micros of which there were some good species) The night was warm, still and cloudy and the absolute perfect night for mothing and easily the warmest night so far with a steady 20c as were turning up at 9pm. We managed to go all out and setup 4 traps running off the genny. Of all of the 4 traps, both the MV's did very well, but the 80w Actinic impressed with the amount of micros that were found in and around it, the Skinner trap was literally covered with them. The sky did eventually clear but the temperature when we packed up at 2am was still a great 15c. The amount of Coronets was a shock with at least 15 recorded between all 4 traps. Other good moths included Bordered Pug, Pretty Chalk Carpet, Blackneck, Dark Umber and Brown Scallop. The micros were even more of a surprise, with some still to check. Numbers below are approximate. 159 species total (91 Macro - 68 Micro) 12/07/13 - Roughdown Common - 2x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x 160w MBT Trap & 1x 80w Actinic Trap run from 9.45pm until 2.00am Macro Moths 1x Barred Yellow 3x Beautiful Golden-Y 2x Beautiful Hook-tip 1x Blackneck 3x Blue-bordered Carpet 4x Bordered Pug 2x Bright-line Brown-eye 5x Brimstone Moth 2x Broad-barred White 1x Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing 2x Brown Rustic 4x Brown Scallop 1x Brown-line Bright-eye 5x Buff Arches 1x Buff Ermine 1x Buff-tip 1x Burnished Brass 5x Clay 2x Clouded Border 2x Clouded Brindle 20x Clouded Silver 2x Clouded-bordered Brindle 2x Common Carpet 3x Common Emerald 2x Common Footman 2x Common Marbled Carpet 1x Common Wainscot 3x Common White Wave 15x Coronet 1x Currant Pug 20x Dark Arches 4x Dark Umber 4x Dot Moth 15x Double Square-spot 2x Dusky Brocade 6X Elephant Hawk-moth 3x Fan-foot 3x Fern 1x Figure of Eighty 8x Flame 10x Flame Shoulder 1x Garden Carpet 8x Ghost Moth 6x Green Pug 1x Green Silver-lines 3x Grey Dagger 1x Haworth's Pug 8x Heart & Club 5x Heart & Dart 2x Ingrailed Clay 1x Iron Prominent 4x July Highflyer 2x Large Yellow Underwing 2x Light Arches 10x Light Emerald 2x Lime-speck Pug 1x Lobster Moth 5x Maple Prominent 10x Marbled Minor 4x Miller 12x Mottled Beauty 1x Mottled Rustic 1x Pale Mottled Willow 3x Peach Blossom 10x Peppered Moth 2x Plain Golden-Y 2x Poplar Grey 3x Pretty Chalk Carpet 10x Riband Wave 4x Rustic 2x Scarce Footman 1x Shaded Broad-bar 1x Shark 2x Short-cloaked Moth 3x Shoulder-striped Wainscot 1x Single-dotted Wave 2x Small Elephant Hawk-moth 2x Small Emerald 1x Small Fan-fooed Wave 1x Small Rivulet 1x Small Square-spot 1x Small Yellow Wave 5x Snout 1x Spectacle 5x Straw Dot 8x Swallow-tailed Moth 2x Tawny Marbled Minor 5x Uncertain 2x V-Pug 2x Wormwood Pug Micro Moths 1x Coleophora trifolii [NEW!] 1x Caloptilia sp pos populetorum [NEW!] 1x Monopis obviella [NEW!] 1x Epinotia tedella [NEW!] 1x Epinotia tenerana [NEW!] 2x Eucosma conterminana [NEW!] 1x Merrifieldia sp pos baliodactylus [NEW!] 1x Teleoides vulgella [NEW!] 2x Celypha striana 2x Eupoecilia angustana 20x Aleimma loeflingiana 5x Archips podana 2x Celypha lacunana 1x Cochylis hybridella 2x Crambus lathoniellus 15x Pandemis cerasana 2x Prays fraxinella 2x Crambus perlella 2x Eurrhypara hortulata 2x Spilonota ocellana 2x Aphomia sociella 5x Lathronympha strigana 2x Scoparia ambigualis 3x Scoparia pyralella 1x Agapeta hamana 4x Agapeta zoegana 2x Epiblema uddmanniana 10x Eucosma cana 3x Eucosma campoliliana 10x Hedya pruniana 2x Hedya nubiferana 1x Agonopterix arenella 1x Batia unitella 2x Dipleurina lacustrata 5x Metzneria metzneriella 3x Pseudargyrotoza conwagana 4x Ditula angustiorana 10x Chrysoteuchia culmella 40x Tortrix viridana 3x Udea olivalis 1x Udea prunalis 1x Pterophorus pentadactyla 5x Coleophora sp 1x Emmelina monodactyla 1x Aethes cnicana 2x Cochylimorpha straminea 1x Blastobasis laticolella 1x Argyresthia goedartella 1x Pseudoswammerdamia combinella 1x Pleuroptya ruralis 2x Endotricha flammealis 2x Argyresthia spinosella 1x Epiblema foenella 2x Ephestia parasitella 10x Epinotia brunnichana 2x Epinotia abbreviana 2x Epiblema trimaculana 2x Aphelia paleana 4x Ancylis achatana 2x Yponomeuta evonymella 5x Archips xylosteana 3x Phycita roborella 1x Catoptria falsella 4x Cydia splendana 1x Eudonia pallida 1x Blastodacna hellerella 1x Anthophila fabriciana 2x Scythropia crataegella

Up to Beds! Home Wood - Field Trip - 02/07/14 Hi all Last night I joined Matt and Trent (Or Lionel, confused.com lol), at Home Wood near Biggelswade in Bedfordshire, hopping Counties for the first time this year (in fact I shall be travelling to Essex tonight, two Counties in as many days). Conditions were absolutely spot on with dominant cloud cover and a warm sultry temperature we set about our business to cover a nice wide area of the woodland. But before that we had to do a spot of tractor pulling.. well van, as Trent's van got stuck in the mud (I wonder if that piece of rope ever came off the tow-bar?) The evening started well with plenty of micros and Geometers turning up first to the sheet. Then at about 11pm it all went a bit mental really, the traps that we had left wee teeming with moths, you could barely see the trap underneath them, peering into the skinner actinic was like something out of a tropical rainforest catch and inhalation was definitely not a good idea at this point! I have yet to write the list up as I have spent all morning photographing all of the moths which hasn't been easy with the warm weather and wind. I think we must be knocking on the door of 200 species of Macro and Micro for the night. Acleris kochiella, Assara terebrella, Eulamprotes atrella, Acleris holmiana, Hedya ochroleucana, Larch Pug, Mere Wainscot, Olindia schumacherana and Zeiraphera ratzeburgiana were new for me So here are a few beauties from last night, mainly micros and several were new to me. I wonder if we get a first for Bedfordshire out of all the things we potted, and the sack load of tubes heading David Manning's way.
