    March Moths

    I wondered if it might be a bit cool last night but went ahead anyway and was rewarded with two NFY: Pale Pinion and LBAM. Total catch was into double figures: 13/7 spp with the returners being 2 Hebrew Character, 6 Small Quaker and singles of Early Grey, Common Quaker and Clouded Drab, the...

    March Moths

    First dry night for a while and five moths in the trap, very much still a March feel to it: nothing NFY, but 2 Early Grey and an Oak Beauty for charisma and singles of Small and Common Quaker for consistency. Couple of Caddis Flies added biodiversity (no way am I going to get into trying to ID...

    Trapped last night, March Moth probably the star, otherwise 3 Small and a Common Quaker plus 3 Hebrew Character. John

    March Moths

    Having cocked up the last trapping session by leaving the covers off, I tried again last night with a good deal of optimism! Marion's sarcastic comment "you got more with the covers off" sums it up.... just two Hebrew Characters. John

    What features are you using to identify the Lead-coloured Drab Ken? John

    March Moths

    Five moths in and around the trap this morning: one each of Early Grey, Brindled Beauty, Clouded Drab, Double-striped Pug and on the outside a NFY Common Plume. There might have been more if I hadn't forgotten to put the perspex covers on - aaargh! John

    March Moths

    NFY Orange Underwing flew past my nose at Blackbushe Airport this afternoon where I was photographing light aircraft (and an incidental male Pied Wagtail in immaculate evening dress). John

    NFY Brindled Pug in the trap this morning. Otherwise 5 Common Quaker, 2 Depressaria daucella, a Clouded Drab and an Early Grey. John

    A couple of shots of the Brindled Beauty from earlier this morning. It was a male and the first shot shows the antennae quite nicely. John

    March Moths

    First trap for a few days, forgot to change the battery over so it was dead this morning, probably allowed a few moths to get away in the early dawn but some still present included NFY Brindled Beauty. Luckily the shortening nights will solve this problem soon! Otherwise it was a typical mix of...

    March Moths

    Two Oak Beauties the highlight of last night's trap, though what seem to be NFY Agonopterix alstromeriana (tick if so) and another Depressaria daucella (I'll put pictures up for testing later) plus NFY very worn Double-striped Pug added to the fun, if that's the word for identifying micros and...

    March Moths

    Unexpected bonus NFY moth this morning when Marion pointed out one on the lounge curtains. Quickly potted, the Early Grey is now in the fridge awaiting photography and release outside the house. John

    March Moths

    After Richard's excellent effort I decided to risk the low temperature last night and was rewarded with one NFY: ironically it was a Clouded Drab that provided the interest. Other than that 5 Common and a Small Quaker plus 3 Hebrew Characters made up the tally. John
