Summary[
edit] Description: Garden Trap - 17-10-12 - Stevenage, Hertfordshire Well what a cracking night! on returning from the circus I found not one but two Merveille du Jour's sitting on the trap, a garden first, and in the pouring rain aswell! By this morning I was rewarded with 27 moths of 17 species which is pretty good for my garden at this time of year I would have thought, but being my first year trapping here I won't know until next August if this year is a base to go on. Also new for my garden was 2x Red-line Quaker's and a lovely Dark Chestnut. I have always said that rain does not seem to put moths off at all, it is always wind and temperature, infact some of my best catches have been in the rain. No photos yet as it is just too dark again! but photos of the previous night will be on my previous post.

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.

Stepping back in time...an October round-up Yep...it's time to pull my finger out and finally update my blog for the year with catches from both October and November and a few from December still to write up I feel I might be some time! I will leave it brief and literally just list the catch results. Here is October, and we follow on from the first catch of October (a few blog posts back) and with a low catch of just 7 moths, this theme would continue through the month. On the 07th the big surprise was my latest ever record of Hypsopygia costalis and a nice rarely recorded second brood example and also another 2 new for year moths, Red-line Quaker and Feathered Thorn. On the 13th I had a great catch of 22 moths due to the mild night and I also recorded my 12th Caloptilia semifascia of the year which is a massive boom on previous years of 1's and 2's. Another migrant Nomophila noctuella was also nice to see and a different example than the one on the 7th. On the 16th it all went pear-shaped and the weather was very cool at night time, and feeling more and more Autumnal. Switching to the 40w Actinic it yielded just 2 moths! On the plus side the November Moth was new for the year and yet another Nomophila noctuella and again a different moth. On the 18th it was back to the MV and another meagre catch but with a pristine Merveille du Jour I wasn't complaining. This was almost a month after my first record this year on the 28th of September! Two days later on the 20th was more of the same. With 6 nights off and back to trapping on the 26th it was a much better catch with 12 moths of 7 species and a welcome splash of colour from another Merveille du Jour. With mild nights abound I ran the trap on 3 consecutive nights and I was rewarded with lots of moths. Best of all were year firsts of Ypsolopha alpella and Brick on the 28th.
