I still have a couple of problem species for which I will beg for your expert opinion in a separate post.

Good stuff Steve. If you`re up to it, I`d try the trap again tonight as things could be on the move with these strong SE winds. I won`t be going through/listing my `regulars` tomorrow morning, just the quicker task of looking for something different. I only had P.stachydalis for the first time this year - it used to be one of Jon Baker`s specialities at his late parents` home north of Carmarthen.
ReplyDelete...and, I forgot to say, some top-notch pics there Steve. I`m sure that one or two will adorn the next annual summary! Lilac beauty, with its distinctive odd wing folds is a moth that I`ve only seen c 3 times.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's Jon's photo of Phlyctaenia (formerly Anania) stachydalis that illustrates the species on the UK Moths website.
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice haul Steve, I'm jealous of your Lilac Beauty, an occasional visitor here but not this year so far.
ReplyDeleteLilac Beauty was a first for me, Chris - pleased with that.
