Friday Night Moths

Not a bad night last night in the moth trap. Light winds, a tiny bit of rain and temperatures down to 8ºC. There was plenty in the trap and I went through the contents with a few people from the Ceredigion Moth Group at a meeting we had today (I’ll blog about that separately).

There was quite a different collection of moths in the trap compared to last time I put it out with 10, possibly 11 new garden records for me:

• 1x Bordered Sallow*
• 2x Large Yellow Underwing
• 1x Mottled Rustic*
• 1x Yellow Shell*
• 8x Lackey*
• 11x Heart and Dart
• 1x Green Carpet
• 4x Elephant Hawkmoth
• 1x Angle Shades
• 1x Silver Y
• 1x Small Elephant Hawkmoth
• 1x Middle-barred Minor
• 1x Flame
• 3x Clouded-bordered Brindle
• 2x Oligia sp.
• 1x Ling Pug*
• 1x Wormwood Pug*
• 8x Dark Arches
• 2x Shaded Pug
• 4x Flame Shoulder
• 1x Marbled Carpet
• 1x Archers Dart*
• 1x Brown Rustic
• 1x Setaceous Hebrew Character
• 3x Pale-shouldered Brocade
• 1x Small Square Spot
• 1x Foxglove Pug
• 1x Small Seraphim
• 3x Broom
• 1x Pale Mottled Willow*
• 1x Striped Wainscot
• 1x Gold Spot
• 1x Heart and Club
• 1x Dusky Brocade

Here are some of the new ones, although I didn’t get photos of all of them today.
