ReplyDeleteThat's a most impressive species list Barry! Curious to know what kind of habitat is it, and is it coastal? I see the Rush Veneers are turning up there too. 4 Hoary Footman here last night.
ReplyDeleteYes it is coastal (put the grid ref in title into grabagridref and you see exactly where it is). It's arable land planted with a sacrificial crop for birds - with quite a lot of clover this year it must be a sweet scent for any passing moths.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. It looks not disimilar from what I see in my garden trap, but not all on one night(I know there will be many overlaps of common species between sites, but nonetheless it's still striking), but it's low nutrient status early succession brownfield here...
ReplyDeleteIs the sacrificial crop approach successful from an invertebrate point of view? Your data from this site suggests it is?
Definitely a hit with the inverts and probably too successful for some groups, in particular slugs, which this year ate all of the sunflower seedlings during the wet spring. I try and trap there around 3 times a year and am rarely disappointed. Having the Limestone cliffs close by helps of course!
