Put the trap out last night and despite it being windy (resulting in very few moths outside trap i think) i still managed a good haul of 70-odd species I think. Just the one migrant (
Diamond-backed moth) but plenty of reedbed and wetland species as you'd expect. Highlights were definitely
silky wainscot and is this a
brown-veined wainscot?
Other wetland species: Chilo phragmitella, Calamotropha paludella, small china-mark and is this a southern wainscot?
Other highlights/new for me this year were yellow-tail, latticed heath, canary-shouldered thorn, lime-speck pug, small waved umber, garden tiger, brown-line bright-eye (and a few bright-line brown-eyes...) and lackey. As well as what i believe is straw underwing?
Micros were dominated by Blastobasis adustella and plenty of grass moths. A few i would like confirmation of though I'm afraid:

7. Well-marked but no idea annoyingly... |
Agree with all those except...
ReplyDelete3. Bryotropha terrella
4. This one looks like D daucella! Hard to be sure though from shiny photo.
7. Phtheocroa inopiana.
Thanks George, you're probably right with the daucella - i thought it might be radiella because it was noticeably bigger than what I thought was daucella (and turned out to be B.terrella!). I assume the Dichrorampha isn't identifiable to species?
ReplyDeleteVaughn, the first moth is a Silky Wainscot, not BV, still very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barry - i must admit i think i had my doubts but really wanted it to be BV...
ReplyDeleteGlad you spotted that Barry - I misread the caption and thought it was labelled as Silky Wainscot.
ReplyDeleteVaughn - I'd say that's Dichrorampha sp!
