Species List for 09/07/2025

 Four traps. An 80W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, a 80W MV Skinner in the Greenhouse Garden and a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden. There were 413 Moths of about 100 species with six NFY.  The star was the Purple Marbled, a beautiful small moth, but it wasn't the first for me, as I caught one on 29/10/2022. On the other hand the less spectacular Pempelia palumbella was a first for the site, and me.

Pempelia palumbella

Species List for 29/10/2022

Although I still haven't caught a Crimson Speckled here, I did see one yesterday when Nigel Jarman popped round with one he'd caught at Bockhill, on the cliff top near the monument. The warm southerlies didn't let me down as I had one new species for the site and two repeats from earlier in the week, a Purpled Marbled, Blair's Mocha and a Uresiphita gilvata. A close look at the photos show the latter two to be new moths. In total there were 152 moths of 33 species with one NFY.
