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 18/7/2014
An amazing evening and night with an exceptional storm and amazing sky. The near tornado conditions were caused by what is known as the Spanish Plume, where hot, Mediterranean air ramps up over cooler Atlantic air into an energy-filled atmosphere. One thing that it did seem to bring us were thousands of Diamond-backed Moths. A look at the first trap this morning quickly convinced me that I wouldn't try to count them, there were certainly hundreds and possibly over a thousand. There was enough of everything else to keep me busy for several hours. All moth totals, therefore do not include diamond-backed Moths from today, although the species is included. Today there were 646 moths of 106 species, 35 species of micros, 129 moths and 71 species of macros 517 moths. In addition there are a few in the fridge that I may get to a conclusion on sometime.
