All this good seawatching weather recently has been a death knell for
moth trapping, but I have had a few before the winds swung north. One in
particular was a new species for me and might be the most Northerly UK record
to date -
|
| Clay Triple Lines. |
I used to record these in my first attempts at moth trapping in the 90s at
Stobswood. They didnt occur in the county then and I was only using the Chinery
insect guide for id purposes. I was clearly miss identifying Riband Wave of the
non banded form....
More standard autumn species are the mainstay of the sessions -
|
| Grey Chi |
|
| Yellow line Quaker |
|
|
Canary shouldered Thorn, in short supply again this year.
|
|
| Large Wainscot |
|
| Pink barred Sallow |
|
| Flounced Chestnut |
|
|
Lunar Underwing of the plainer orange form.
