Moth Records for the 8th April 2012.

15W Actinic on the terrace.

Any corrections, PLEASE send me a comment on the post, thanks.

9100 Acontia lucida (Pale Shoulder).

After a cold winter the nights have started to get a bit warmer now so I put the 15watt Actinic trap out to see what was about. 

7725 Menophora japygiaria (Brassy Waved Umber).

I had a few moths this morning but less than I had hoped for, the commonest by far was 10343 Agrotis puta puta (Shuttle Shaped Dart) with 15 insects caught, along with 6496 Evergestis isatidalis x2, 7725 Menophora japygiaria  (Brassy Waved Umber) x2 both quite different looking, 8059 Scopula marginepunctata (Mullein Wave) x1, 8965 Tyta luctuosa (The Four-spotted) x1, 9100 Acontia lucida (Pale Shoulder) x1, 9207 Cucullia chamomillae (Chamomile Shark) x1 and 9433 Paradrina clavipalpis (Pale Mottled Willow) x4.

7725 Menophora japygiaria (Brassy Waved Umber).

The only micro was a single 3264 Isophrictis anthemidella. The weather is looking a lot more settled next week so hoping to start running the light again a couple of times a week at least.

9207 Cucullia chamomillae (Chamomile Shark).

I have a couple that I am going to have to send down to Moth expert Penny Hale for her to check and 1 I hope she will be able to put a name to.
