This next moth I think is a Cypress Pug but correct me if it's not!
Loads still to go through.
The immigrants again were plentyful with 2x Udea ferrugalis, 12x Silver Y. Over 70 species and still more to i/d.
Best moth again is my 3rd Cream-bordered Green Pea this year. This is from my second site so the other two were from my home trap, a mile apart.
Anyway I am trying to i/d this next moth and morphing it into a Portland (it was long) I'll be told off for saying that, as I should be more specific but it got away from me and I only had a few pics of it before it disappeared, and I never got to measure it.
Many thanks
Stunning moths, Mel. Great work.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a bright Small Mottled Willow - green with envy over your peas
ReplyDeleteMany thank, it didn't look quite right but I was in the right place for it.
ReplyDeleteGreat records Mel....you`ve pinched all my peas this year! Not had one yet. Your migrants (vestal and small mottled willow) are nice records too, as is the cypress pug (?3rd Carms site, the others being Pwll and Burry Port).
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the other day if you were trapping recently and, hey presto!...
I've trapped a lot but not had time to blog, if I didn't work life would be easier! I caught a moth that looks like a pearly underwing, so I must get someone to i/d it before I forget. Lots of micro's in the fridge for looking at. It will be winter before I catch up!
