| 説明 | A belated field trip post from mid-July, apologies for not being in season! Here's my 'harking back' post for the day.Ensue wall of text....A fantastic night was had at my local chalk quarry just 15 minutes up the road from me.The relative remotness and ease of access keep me going back here, and of the 11 trips i've done here over 2 years now i've always come away with at least one new moth for me, that's a blooming good statistic and surely testament to the incredible habitat there.It is a very unusual location, miles from any substantial woodland, just arable fields as far as the eye can see, it is also fairly elevated which is probably why I do very well for migrants here.4 traps were set up around the reserve and switched on just in time as the light faded under increasing cloud, it was very balmy indeed but very gusty and traps were positioned out of the wind apart from one which over-looked the breeze coming from the south, hoping to intercept a migrant or two...Below where the best species of the night.Dewick's Plusia was very welcome moth, and my second record this year (After finding a wing in the garden). I believe this is now the 5th record for Herts this year? (At time of going to press!) 1 in Royston (Unknown captor), 1 in my garden, 2 in Andrew Wood's garden over the past week.Coleophora conspicuella, 2nd County record for Herts (After the first two nights before in my garden), a rare coastal Coleophora, both probably blown in on the wind and unexpected.Agriphila selasella, not a common moth in Herts, but it's had a very good year with lots of people adding it to their garden list for the first time (Including mine with a garden first on the 03rd of August).Cnephasia longana, likes open waste/grassland. My only other records are from my parents farmland, not common for me.Pediasia contaminella, another good record of an uncommon grass moth.Plain Pug, my first Herts record of this large distinctive Pug.Sorhagenia rhamniella, a first for me and the 5th record for Herts.Elachista sp, probably bisulcella... rare in Herts, dissection pending but looks good. A first for me.Nymphula nitidulata, the Beautiful China-mark, a first for me again and what a stunning little moth, my photo desn't do it justice!BIG thanks to Graeme Smith for providing the dissections.Below is the full list.94 Macro and 85 Micro species recorded.Catch Report - 16/07/18 - Ashwell Quarry - 1x 250w Frosted MV Robinson Trap, 2x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x twin 20w Wemite ActinicMacro MothsBlood-veinBright-line Brown-eyeBrimstone MothBroad-bordered Yellow UnderwingBrown ScallopBrown-line Bright-eyeBrown-tailBuff ArchesBuff ErmineBuff FootmanBuff-tipCampionChinese CharacterClayCloaked MinorClouded SilverCommon CarpetCommon EmeraldCommon FootmanCommon RusticCommon WainscotCoxcomb ProminentDark ArchesDark UmberDewick's PlusiaDingy FootmanDouble Square-spotDouble-striped PugDrinkerDun-barDusky SallowDwarf Cream WaveEarly ThornElephant Hawk-mothFan FootFen WainscotFernFlameFlame ShoulderGhost MothGrey DaggerHaworth's PugHeart & ClubHeart & DartKnot GrassLarge Twin-spot CarpetLarge Yellow UnderwingLatticed HeathLeast CarpetLeast Yellow UnderwingLesser Broad-bordered Yellow UnderwingLesser Common Rustic - Gen Det (Male)Lesser Yellow UnderwingLesser-spotted PinionLight ArchesLime-speck PugLunar-spotted PinionLychnisMouse MothNutmegPebble Hook-tipPebble ProminentPeppered MothPine Hawk-mothPlain PugPoplar Hawk-mothRed Twin-spot CarpetRiband WaveRuby TigerScalloped OakScarce FootmanScorched CarpetScorched WingSetaceous Hebrew CharacterShaded Broad-barSilver-YSingle-dotted WaveSlender PugSmall Blood-veinSmall EmeraldSmall Fan-footed WaveSmall ScallopSmoky WainscotSnoutSouthern WainscotSpectacleStraw DotTree-lichen BeautyTurnip MothUncertainV-PugWillow BeautyWormwood PugYellow-tailMicro MothsAcentria ephemerellaAcleris aspersanaAcleris forsskaleanaAcleris varieganaAcompsia cinerellaAcrobasis advenellaAethes rubiganaAgapeta hamanaAgapeta zoeganaAgonopterix alstromerianaAgonopterix heraclianaAgriphila selasellaAgriphila straminellaAnania coronataAnania hortulataAnarsia innoxiellaAncylis achatanaAproaerema anthyllidellaArchips podanaArchips xylosteanaArgyresthia albistriaArgyresthia goedartellaArgyresthia pruniellaAspilapteryx tringipennellaBatia lunarisblaatibasis adustellaBlastobasis lacticolellaBlastodacna hellerellaBorkhausenia fuscescensBrachmia blandellaCameraria ohridellaCarcina quercanaCelypha rosaceanaCelypha strianaChilo phragmitellaChrysoteuchia culmellaColeophora conspicuellaClepsis consimilianaCnephasia longanaCnephasia spCochylimorpha stramineaCochylis atricapitanaCrambus perlellaCrassa unitellaDitula angustioranaElachista bisulcella to be checkedEndotricha flammealisEndrosis sarcitrellaEpinotia foenellaEucosma hohenwartianaEucosma obumbratanaEucsoma canaEudonia lacustrataEudonia mercurellaEudonia pallidaEulamprotes atrellaEuzophera pinguisGalleria mellonellahelycystogramma rufescensHofmannophila pseudospretellaHypsopygia costalisHypsopygia glaucinalisLathronympha striganaMetzneria metzneriellaMompha ochraceellaMonopis crocapitellaMonopis laevigellaNemapogon cloacellaNymphula nitidulataOegoconia spOstrinia nubilalisPammene fascianaPammene fascianaPandemis heparanaParaswammerdamia albicapitellaParornix spPediasia contaminellaPhtheochroa inopianaPhyllonorycter leucographellaPleuroptya ruralisPlutella xylostellaPrays fraxinellaPseudargyrotoza conwaganaPyrausta aurataRecurvaria nanellaScrobipalpa costellaSorhagenia rhamniellaSpilonota ocellanaStenoptilia pterodactylaSyncopacma spTeleiodes vulgellaTinea semifulvellaUdea prunalisYponomeuta evonymellaYponomeuta spYpsolopha scabrella |
