Cool and chilly nights aboundA much reduced catch this morning, but Spruce Carpet and Eriocrania subpurpurella made it on the year list which was a bonus.Stigmella aurella was also observed at dusk flying around recently exited mines on my 'left to grow' Bramble at the bottom of the garden, as an adult this is new for the garden.I am hopefully going out tonight to either Therfield Heath or Hexton Chalk Pit to search for Northern Drab....2 were caught last night the first County records since 1985! Our County moth recorder managed to do it so really pleased for him.Catch Report - 08/04/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Spruce Carpet [NFY]1x Brindled Pug1x Double-striped Pug8x Hebrew Character9x Common Quaker 1x Small Quaker1x Clouded Drab1x Nut-tree Tussock4x Early Grey1x Early ThornMicro Moths1x Stigmella aurella [NFG]2x Eriocrania subpurpurella [NFY]1x Agonopterix heracliana
Summary[edit] Description: Had a field trip out to Parndon Wood last night, setting up at 8pm and leaving two 125w MV robinson traps out amongst woodland, at 15c at dusk with slight cloud cover it was perfect conditions. The trap that was positioned under a large Oak was certainly more prolific, although many more moths were found in the trap rather than the sheet this time, showing the shift of warmer flying conditions, and the catch comprising of mostly spring species as opposed to winter stragglers, whih tended to not fly too much! On returning at 6am this morning I was pleasantly surprised with the catch, which included multiple new for years and countless Small Quaker (the total tally was 98) Best moths included recent emergences of Lunar Marbled Brown and Frosted Green and a slightly aberrant Hebrew Character. The micro's turned up in good numbers as well for the first time this year with Diurnea fagella and Eriocrania subpurpurella being the most common.
