Another good night for the moth trap last night. The weather was still, a little overcast and temperatures only dropped to 10.6ºC. In the trap this orning were 108 moths from 29 different species, which included 4 new garden records. 2x Scarce Footman* 1x Small Magpie 26 x Lackey 3x Wormwood Pug 2x Garden Tiger...
We had a couple of fairly standard nights in the Moth trap over the weekend. Saturday had the most moths in the trap and included a new on to me, the Silky Wainscot – Not rare in the county, but not common either just just a smattering of records. The full list from Saturday night...
It was a busy night for the moth trap last night. The temperature still dropped to 8ºC though which was lower than I was expecting so it wasn’t a record night as far as number were concerned. There were a few new species for the garden list though and the Dark Arches are on the...
I don’t know if its just the fact that I’m looking more this year or if there really is more wildlife in the garden, but here’s a caterpillar of a Yellow Tail moth that I’ve just spotted.
Another good night for the moth trap. Light winds and temperatures held up with a minimum of 9.6ºC so the trap was full this morning. Lots of micro moths but I’m not taking too much notice of those at the moment as I’m trying to familiarise myself with the macro moths first, but some of...
As it was Father’s Day on Sunday and my present from Morgan was a collection of moth pots to allow me to store and identify the moths a little easier I put the trap out again on Saturday Night. When we returned from out Nightjar and Glow Worm Walk, Morgan and I had a little...
We had a small gathering of the Ceredigion Moth Group on Saturday. We met up at the Visitor Centre in Ynyslas Dunes and went through the contents of my trap and a trap that Mike brought along. It’s good to see the contents of other peoples traps as it is surprising how different the collection...
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...
Plans are a foot for a little meet up of the Ceredigion Moth Group on Saturday. It’s all fairly informal, just a get together to go through the contents of a couple of traps. Hopefully one from the dunes, one from the bog and my trap from the garden here. After that, we’ll probably have...
We put the moth trap out a couple of times over the weekend and got quite a few moths in the trap, but nothing new. The average seems to be around about 60-80 moths at the moment from approximately 25 species. Last night looked like a good night so I put the trap out again...
