Passenger, caught 23/9/2006 (National moth night).
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 16/10/2019
Just the two Robinsons used, they are so much better in he rain. A better night with 39 moths of 17 species. There was a Carpet that was very wet and tatty, at the bottom of the trap. Now dried out and alive I think it is a Pine Carpet.

A quieter night, but the second Feathered Brindle of the year was a strikingly marked moth and there was also a very strongly marked Pine Carpet. The two Mallows were the first of the year.
