[2475] Waved Black (Parascotia fuliginaria)

Description:

Very Lackey BlackyWell the weather has been very up and down with some breezy and very wet nights, but with decent night time temperatures at least.Tuesday night was no different. We did get a shower sometime during the night as the perspex collar had rain-drops on it, but at the time of emptying the trap it was nice and dry.Some more fantastic moths were to be observed. Lackey made it onto the 2014 list, after I recorded it a day earlier last year, but the best moth was a Waved Black a garden first and Macro number 247 for the garden. Three Trachycera suavella's were the best of the Micro's.I have yet to see a Trachycera advenella, although my records seem to indicate it flying more end of July/early August.Catch Report - 08/07/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Waved Black [NFG]1x Lackey [NFY]1x Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing [NFY]2x Least Carpet [NFY]5x Bright-line Brown-eye3x Brimstone Moth1x Buff Arches2x Buff-tip2x Cloaked Minor1x Clouded Border22x Common Footman1x Common Pug7x Commo Rustic1x Common Wainscot7x Dark Arches1x Dingy Shears17x Dot Moth5x Double Square-spot2x Dun-bar2x Dwarf Cream Wave1x Flame1x Flame Shoulder3x Heart & Club18x Heart & Dart1x July Highflyer1x Large Nutmeg1x Marbled Minor7x Mottled Rustic1x Peppered Moth1x Privet Hawk-moth6x Riband Wave2x Rustic1x Scalloped Oak1x Setaceous Hebrew Character1x Small Emerald3x Small Fan-footed Wave2x Smoky Wainscot2x Snout43x Uncertain Micro Moths 3x Trachycera suavella [NFY]2x Acleris forsskaleana4x Endotricha flammealis1x Emmelina monodactyla1x Eurrhypara hortulata1x Epiblema uddmanniana1x Phycita roborella1x Udea olivalis2x Cnephasia sp3x Udea prunalis1x Carcina quercana1x Paraswammerdamia nebulella1x Orthopygia glaucinalis1x Elachista albifrontella1x Epagoge grotiana2x Crambus pascuella3x Celypha lacunana1x Zeiraphera isertana2x Amblyptilia acanthadactyla2x Celypha striana15x Chrysoteuchia culmella2x Dipleurina lacustrata
