Trip to Las Descargues 8th August - 18th August - Micro Moths Here is the second post containing all (or nearly all) of the Micro Moth species that I recorded on my 10 night stay to Las Descargues. The smaller moths were quite thin on the ground most nights and with lots of bigger bulkier moths crashing around in the traps it made it harder to actually pot them up and a few escaped at times! I still have a few for identification as always but so far the Micro Moth species list stands at 102 species. Species highlighted in red are completely new to me. All of the Macro and the Micro Moth species that I took photos of can now be viewed on my flickr page HERE Acleris variegana Acompsia cinerella Acompsia tripunctella Acrobasis advenella Acrobasis glaucella Acrobasis tumidana Adaina microdactyla Agapeta hamana Agapeta zoegana Agonopterix yeatiana Agriphila inquinatella Agriphila straminella Agriphila tristella Agrotera nemoralis Amblyptilia acanthdactyla Anania verbascalis Ancylolomia sp Antigastra catalaunalis Argyresthia bonnetella Argyresthia semitestacella Aroga velocalla Bactra lancealana Batia lambdella Batia lunaris Blastobasis glandulella Borkhausenia fuscescens Bryotropha basaltinella Bryotropha terrella Caloptilia alchimiella/robustella Caloptilia stigmatella Calybites phasianipennella Carcina quercana Carpatolechia decorella Catoptria falsella Catoptria pinella Celypha lacunana Celypha rivulana Celypha striana Chrysoteuchia culmella Clepsis rurinana Coleophora sp Coptotriche marginea Cosmiotes freyrella Crambus pascuella Cydalima perspectalis Cydia amplana Cynaeda dentalis Depressaria pulcherrimella Dialectica scalariella Dichomeris limosellus Dioryctria abietella Ectoedemia heringella Elachista canapennella Emmelina monodactyla Endothenia oblongana Endotricha flammealis Ephestia elutella Epinotia ramella Ethmia quadrillella Etiella zinckenella Eucosma conterminana Eudemis profundana Eudonia lacustrata Eudonia mercurella Euzophera pinguis Evergestis forficalis Homaloxestis briantiella Homoeosoma sinuella Khorassania compositella Lobesia botrana Metalampra italica Metendothenia atropunctana Monopis laevigella Monopis obviella Niphonympha dealbatella Nomophila noctuella Notocelia uddmanniana Oegoconia sp Oncocera semirubella Ostrinia nubilalis Oxyptilus ericetorum Palpita vitrealis Paraswammerdamia albicapitella Parornix sp Pediasia contaminella Phycitodes albatella Phycitodes binnaevella Phyllonorycter coryli Phyllonorycter harrisella Plutella xylostella Pyralis farinalis Pyrausta despicata Pyrausta purpuralis Pyroderces argyrogrammos Scrobipalpa acuminatella Scythropia crataegella Sitochroa palealis Stomopteryx detersella Synaphe punctalis Syncopacma ochrofasciella Syncopacma sangiella Udea ferrugalis

Field Trip - Bovingdon Brickworks - Bovingdon - 08/05/16 Last night I was joined by Roger and Steve at Bovingdon Brickworks just outside of the village of Bovingdon, roughly 5 miles South-West of Hemel Hempstead. The reserve was formerly a brickworks and is consequently very sandy with undulating pits making it quite a unique trapping location that is full of wild flowers. David had already setup his MV Robinson at Gadesprings which we would return to after packing up from Bovingdon. We did a lengthy walk from the cars with the equipment which isn't for the faint-hearted, set up a total of four traps, an actinic in the wooded section and then three other traps scattered around the pits. The weather was pretty much perfect minus cloud cover, but we didn't need it as it was still 16 degrees when I was driving home at half 2! With the day-time temperature peaking at a heady 27 degrees, we were confident that even if the sky stayed clear that it would take a few hours for the temperature to drop, and a few hours is all we needed. Best moth of the night was a pretty scarce moth for Hertfordshire but seemingly common in other parts o the Country, Early Tooth-striped a new moth for me! Other species of note were mainly micros with a few still to sort out. Three stunning Cydia strobilella were great to get, and a Herts scarce species along with my third new species an Incurvaria pectinea. It was great to finally see good numbers of moths and many species numbered into double-figures.

Field Trip - Home Wood - 30/05/18 My first field trip of the year and I joined up with Matt from Upper Caldecote to hit up Home Wood with a collection of traps and a sheet. Unfortunately the evening started a bit confusingly, where I jokingly sent a photo of myself holding my son saying 'That it looks like i'm staying in tonight' (As a joke)... Matt picked the message up and immediately responded saying can I still make it. I didn't see this reply until 30 minutes later and in that time Matt had rang his Dad and had packed up and turned around from the site and had gone home. To say I felt bad for pulling a prank was an understatement. Lionel wished me good luck on the phone and said 'I hope you trip over the gate on the way in' ...I guess I deserved that comment :D Anyhow, drama over and next time I won't make a silly joke :/ We set up just in time for night fall with 4 traps and a sheet. The weather was pretty perfect, no wind and although the day really struggled to get warm and by lunchtime it was still only 14 degrees, by 7pm it was pushing 18 with a few breaks in the cloud allowing the sun to warm things up but not losing much cloud at all things, were really looking up for us. Indeed it was pretty damn good considering this was earlier in the year than we normally blitz this woodland. The list is below with several species still pending. There are several new species I believe for the County of Bedfordshire New species for me were Ancylis diminutana and Cydia illutana (So far). 41 Macro and 55 Micro species so far Catch Report - 30/05/18 - Home Wood - Nr Upper Caldecote - 1x 250w Frosted MV Robinson Trap, 2x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x twin 20w Wemite Actinic + 1x 40w Actinic & 15w LED corn light and 1x 80w MV on tripod with sheet Macro Moths Angle Shades Beautiful hook-tip Bordered white Brimstone Moth Brindled White-spot Brown Rustic Clouded Silver Common Carpet Common Marbled Carpet Common Pug Common Swift Common White Wave Coronet Coxcomb Prominent Cream Wave Dingy Shell Dwarf Pug Figure of Eighty Flame Carpet Flame Shoulder Garden Carpet Gold Swift Green Carpet Green Pug Green Silver lines Grey-pine Carpet Ingrailed Clay Iron Prominent Light Emerald Lime Hawk-moth Lobster Moth Maiden's Blush Marbled Brown Marbled Minor sp Marbled White-spot Middle-barred Minor Mottled Pug Ochreous Pug Orange Footman Pale Oak Beauty Pale Prominent Pale Tussock Peppered Moth Poplar Grey Poplar Lutestring Puss Moth Red Twin-spot Carpet Rustic Shoulder-knot Scorched Carpet Scorched Wing Seraphim Setaceous Hebrew character Silver-Y Silver-ground Carpet Snout Spectacle Spruce Carpet Straw Dot Treble Lines White Ermine Micro Moths Acentria ephemerella Adela reamurella Ancylis diminutana Ancylis mitterbacheriana Aphomia sociella Argyresthia laevigatella/glabratella Argyresthia pruniella Argyresthia spinosella Caloptilia alchimiella/robustella Capua vulgana Celypha lacunana Cochylis atricapitana Coleophora caespititiella (Gen Det) Coleophora laricella (Gen Det) Crambus lathoniellus Cryptoblabes bistriga Cydia illutana Epinotia tedella Elachista sp Hedya pruniana Incurvaria oehlmanniella Lathronympha strigana Monopis laevigella Nemapogon cloacella Nematopogon metaxella Nemophora degeerella Notocelia cynosbatella Notocelia trimaculana Pammene prob ignorata Parapoynx stratiotata Parornix sp Plutella xylostella Prays fraxinella Pseudargyrotoza conwagana Pseudoswammerdamia combinella Ptycholoma lecheana Rhyacionia pinivorana Scoparia ambigualis Scoparia basistrigalis Scrobipalpa costella Syndemis musculana Teleiodes luculella Tinea semifulvella Tortrix viridana Udea olivalis
