Moth Trapping.
 |
| Microloxia herbaria. |
Again I set the trap up out in the same place in the garden and had a much more interesting haul and again I decided to use the 15 watt actinic as it does not seem to be affected as much as the MV by the new much brighter street lighting now fitted.
 |
| Raphia hybris. |
There were still high numbers of Eublemma parva (Small Marbled), Pyralis obsoletalis and Palpita vitrealis.
Also there were many more Agrotis lata, Spodoptera exigua (Small Mottled Willow), Rhodometra sacraria (The Vestal), Microloxia herbaria, Tyta luctuosa (The Four-spotted), Acontia lucida (Pale Shoulder), Pseudozarba bipartite and Hecatera dysodea (Small Ranunculus) then a few nights ago.
 |
| Idaea degeneraria (Portland Ribbon Wave). |
Smaller numbers of Metachrostis velox, Raphia hybris (New Species), Actenia brunnealis, Mythimna putrescens (Devonshire Wainscot), Idaea manicaria, Idaea degeneraria (Portland Ribbon Wave) and Symmoca nigromaculella were also caught. Several species still need to be sorted out but a nice catch.
