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 21/05/2018
A slightly odd day, in that I had one trap with nothing, while the other four all contributed quite well. The one that missed out was my 80W no1 in the vegetable garden. This might be good news for the cabbages. One micro and three macros NFY. One of those days when both Hebrew Character and Setaceous Hebrew Character appeared, but unfortunately the Setaceous make a quick escape as I lined up a photo.

Knot Grass
Marbled Minor
I realise that without gen, det, this will have to be submitted the the County Recorder as a Minor agg. but the date and the patternmake me pretty sure it is a Marbled Minor and as I don't do dissections, unless I get a volunteer it will remain just conjecture.
