    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    My first new moth in ages, thanks to John East for ID. These often come with a real, green, sheen which is barely, perceptible here.

    Hi Martin and thanks for the input, I've missed you!

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    Last nights highlights including my first Black Collar of which, there are several, UK records. A giant Ant species, probably the biggest I've ever seen, at least an inch.

    A couple of belated ID's from earlier post.

    A Mis-ID Paul, thought it was the white form of Box Tree Moth, thank you.

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    More of my best bits. I also got my first Jersey Tiger but it escaped as I tried to photograph it, grrrrrrr.

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    Last night I got a couple of things that I'm yet to identify, a Geometrid and a micro, also, another Longhorn beetle and again, yet to be ID'd. I also caught my first, Cyprus record of one of my favourite moths, a Buff-tip. Edit: John East has very kindly provided me with a list of Cypriot...

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    Selidosema is a first for me and a Cyprus endemic. The wasp is large, perhaps a hunter of larger spiders? I get them in my trap but can never catch one for a pic, this wwas dead in the pool.

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    Yes, one of the types I usually find on flower heads.

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    I thought Eublemma too but Lepiforum have ID'd it as Tegostoma baphialis.

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    I've named what I know, the rest are a mystery for now.

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    A few unknowns here are what I presume to be two different species of Antlion. Very few Noctuids being caught, a single each of Bordered and Eastern Bordered Straw were the only ones.

    Best of the meagre catch this week so far. The last image is from June, thanks to John East for a belated ID.

    The two names confuse me all the time!

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    Now I'm confused, the scientific name is included with the image? https://www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/Hippotion-celerio/

    Approaching a full moon again so catch is poor but here's the best bits.

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    No ants last night, I wonder if they're nomadic? Here the best bits which wouldn't be complete without an unknowm micro which may be an Aglossa sp

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    Not much in the way of moths but big problem with various predators getting in to the trap and wreaking havoc. Often, there will be a couple of Mantis but now, predatory ants are a problem and had a nice Tiger Beetle today but even that, was falling prey to the ants.

    Last nights pick.

    Last nights best bits.

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    Yes, thanks Paul, I overlooked it on the Cyprus list as I hadn't realised it wasn't a Eupithecia!

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    I'm getting a bit better at stuff I get regularly, once I've had help with an initial ID, I'm usually OK, still coming to terms with a lack of common names though! The Cryphia is either ochsi or algae (Tree Lichen Beauty), said to be indistinguishable without dissection, also, an as yet...

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    I'm catching very little in the way of macro moths right now, no idea why, I thought it would be prolific here but it's not. Maybe I'll try a different light source, currently using a black light and maybe will bring my Mercury / Tungsten, blended lamp out when I get back to the UK next. It's...

    Here are two, worn, Emerald species which have lost their green colour, I've never seen this in any of the UK species I used to catch?

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    It's been cloudy and humid for a couple of nights so the catch has picked up. Big problem with very large ants getting in the trap and eating half the catch so need to find a solution for that. A tiny Herb Emerald, shown here with a Bulrush Waisnscot to illustrate size. The Caradrina was tiny...
