Mothing at St Margaret's
Most of the Moth lists and Photographs are from my garden (TR359450) in the village of St Margaret's at Cliffe in Kent. It is situated about 1Km from the sea and has farmland with in 100 metres. The garden is well shrubbed and about 1600 sq metres. I normally run a 125 MV lamp and a 15W actinic light over-night and once the season gets going a couple of other traps. At the moment both are 25W black Lamps. previously I used a 160W blended lamp in one of them. All traps are home made. Trapping dates refer to the date the trap was put out.
I try and identify all the Macro Moths, with the micros I am not at all systematic, I do more than I used to with the help of the new book, but there are some that do get through.
Trap Update in 2017. A new 125W MV Robinson was added to a 125W MV Skinner, 15W Actinic Skinner, two 80W MV Morris modified Skinners and a 80W MVMorris Box trap.
Traps are now (2020 onwards) 2x 125W Robinsons, 2x 80W Skinner type and 1x 15W Actinic strip light on a Skinner type .

Species List for 29/7/2014
Good to have a reasonable night, albeit a bit colder, down to 16 deg C, than the previous few nights. Another Cochylis species, but this one looked different around the head and thorax, being whiter. I've not chopped it up, but it looks more like pallidana to me. Altogether there were 404 moths of 72 species, of which there were 112 micro moths of 22 species.

Cochylis pallidana - My identification from pictures, I've not dissected it, as it now has its freedom.

Rain Stopped play, resumption tonight.
After two days when the weather was bad enough to deter me from mothing I've got the traps out tonight. I have still managed to add one species to the year list by having a good look at some photos from a couple of nights ago.
Providing I've got it right this is 964 -Cochylis dubitana. I've actually caught this for the last two or three nights, but only managed a proper photo for an identification from the last trapping session.
