Veronica and I ran 2 mv and 1 actinic traps until about 1am and recorded 49 species with some nice surprises. Best were probably 2 Little Thorn, Barred Hook-tip, Maiden's Blush, 2 Dwarf Pug, Blomer's Rivulet, 3 Clay Triple-lines, with commonest being 40 Pale Tussock and 25 Marbled Brown. Also 2 of what I think is a weakly marked form of White-spotted Pug. An Emperor laid eggs on an egg box (of course, where else?) inside one trap.
Stunning photos Chris, especially the mitterbacheriana.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a Common Pug. Looks too brown for White-spotted.
Great, many thanks, George.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great night - sorry I was not able to join you
