What a night!With the MV Robinson Trap back in action, it was time to see what graced the trap come Monday morning.I was pretty darned pleased to say the least, there were literally loads of moths.Unfortunately the birds still beat me to a few of the bigger moths. I got up at 6 to find a year first Swallow-tailed Moth wings, but luckily the best was in the trap! Nearly 200 moths last night with 22 New species for the year...probably a record catch for the garden.Again mostly micros but it was certainly a Wave night with Small Dusty, Common White, Riband, Small Fan-footed, Dwarf Cream, Treble Brown Spot and Single-dotted Wave!Elephant Hawk-moth, Haworths Pug, Dingy Shears and Epagoge grotiana were pick of the bunch. But best of all, both of the micros Argyresthia cupressella and Swammerdamia caesiella were new ones for me. Argyresthia cupressella if correct will be the 4th County record for Hertfordshire. All these new ones suddenly sees me at 240 species for the year though still some way to beat 385 species I had last year, still things are still possible as out of the 240 species so far this year an amazing 36 species have been new for the garden I had a night off last night as it had teamed it down for a few hours before darkness and the vegetation was sopping.Catch Report - 21/06/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 160w MBT Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Common Emerald [NFY]1x Swallow-tailed Moth [NFY]1x Haworth's Pug [NFY]1x Light Arches [NFY]1x Elephant Hawk-moth [NFY]1x Dingy Shears [NFY]2x Barred Yellow [NFY]1x Small Fan-footed Wave [NFY]1x Single-dotted Wave [NFY]1x Clay [NFY]3x Marbled Minor2x Dwarf Cream Wave1x Small Dusty Wave7x Treble Brown Spot5x Dark Arches 2x Willow Beauty2x Common White Wave1x Common Pug2x Green Pug 2x Buff-tip1x Buff Ermine1x Beautiful Hook-tip1x Common Wainscot 1x Flame1x Cabbage Moth1x Double-striped Pug2x Peppered Moth 2x Grey Pug 6x Common Footman 3x Flame Shoulder 1x Bright-line Brown-eye 2x Heart & Club 2x Fan-foot 3x Dot Moth 1x Brimstone 22x Uncertain 6x Mottled Beauty 3x Riband Wave 4x Light Emerald 4x Double Square-spot 29x Heart & Dart 19x Mottled Rustic1x Vine's Rustic1x SnoutMicro Moths 1x Argyresthia cupressella [NEW!]1x Swammerdamia caesiella [NEW!] 2x Scythropia crataegella [NFG]1x Ancylis achatana [NFG]1x Argyresthia goedartella [NFY] 1x Yponomeuta evonymella [NFY]1x Carcina quercana [NFY]2x Oegoconia sp [NFY] 1x Epagoge grotiana [NFY]1x Hypsopygia costalis [NFY]1x Pterophorus pentadactyla [NFY]1x Argyresthia pruniella [NFY]3x Phycita roborella1x Phyllonorycter coryli 2x Udea prunalis1x Agapeta hamana1x Endotricha flammealis1x Coleophora sp 5x Udea olivalis 3x Aphomia sociella 7x Aleimma loeflingiana 3x Tortrix viridana15x Chrysoteuchia culmella 2x Ditula angustiorana 1x Eurrhypara hortulata3x Hedya pruniana1x Celypha striana 3x Epiblema uddmanniana 2x Celypha lacunana1x Archips podana 5x Scoparia ambigualis2x Epiphyas postvittana1x Dipleurina lacustrata4x Emmelina monodactyla

Another blooming successful catch!August is upon us, and the mild weather looks set to continue, with a few outbreaksof rain here and there expected over the next week. Today was hot and humid and witha high of 34 degrees, it would have been rude not to set the trap up!Despite clear skies the temperature was still 19 degrees at 6am this morning. Mothswere absolutely everywhere, in the trap, on the wall and within the long grass. Ittook just over an hour of sorting. Unfortunately quite a few had passed away, possiblyto do with 4 dead wasps in the trap and a combination of high temperature and the sheeramount of Dot Moths and Dark Arches, the latter numbering close to 80 individuals.Best Macro moths were Barred Hook-tip, Campion, Slender Brindle and the long awaitedSwallow Prominent (having had Lesser Swallow on numerous occasions)Best Micro moths were 3 Limnaecia phragmitella, Clavigesta purdeyi and the tiny Epinotia nanana. Adding 3 new Micros to my all time list was very pleasing indeed.I will be trapping again on Sunday night.Catch Report - 01/08/13 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson trapMacro Moths1x Barred Hook-tip [NFG]1x Swallow Prominent [NFG]1x Campion [NFG]1x Dark-barred Twin-spot Carpet [NFG]1x Slender Brindle [NFG]2x Maple Pug [NFG]3x Dusky Sallow [NFG]1x Scorched Carpet [NFG]2x Oak Hook-tip [NFG]2x Orange Swift [NFY]2x Black Arches [NFY]3x Flounced Rustic [NFY]3x Square-spotted Clay [NFY]4x Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing [NFY]3x Copper Underwing [NFY]13x Bright-line Brown-eye2x Brimstone Moth1x Cabbage Moth1x Clay2x Cloaked Minor1x Clouded Border2x Common Carpet1x Clouded Silver10x Common Footman13x Common Rustic72x Dark Arches1x Dingy Shears52x Dot Moth11x Double Square-spot6x Dun-bar2x Early Thorn1x Fan-foot1x Flame2x Flame Shoulder1x Grey Dagger2x Heart & Dart2x July Highflyer2x Large Yellow Underwing1x Least Carpet5x Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing6x Lesser Yellow Underwing1x Light Arches2x Marbled Beauty2x Mottled Rustic1x Nut-tree Tussock8x Peppered Moth2x Red Twin-spot Carpet15x Riband Wave2x Ruby Tiger2x Shuttle-shaped Dart12x Silver-Y2x Single-dotted Wave9x Small Fan-footed Wave1x Spectacle4x Straw Underwing2x Swallow-tailed Moth5x Uncertain2x V-pug4x White Satin Moth19x Willow Beauty2x Yellow-tailMicro Moths1x Ancylis badiana [NFG]1x Bucculatrix thoracella [NEW!]3x Limnaecia phragmitella [NFG]1x Yponomeuta padella [NFG]3x Eudemis profundana [NFG]1x Clavigesta purdeyi [NEW!]1x Spilonota laricana [NEW!]1x Epinotia nanana [NFG]1x Phlyctaenia coronata [NFG]2x Argyrotaenia ljungiana [NFY]2x Pandemis corylana [NFY]1x Agonopterix alstromeriana [NFY]4x Cydia splendana [NFY]3x Spilonota ocellana1x Hypsopygia costalis2x Caloptilia alchimiella3x Bryotropha terrella2x Blastobasis adustella1x Trachycera suavella3x Trachycera advenella1x Mompha propinquella2x Aphomia sociella2x Archips podana1x Pandemis heparana2x Batia unitella3x Phycita roborella2x Tischeria ekebladella46x Agriphila straminella2x Hofmannophila pseudospretella2x Acleris forsskaleana5x Pleuroptya ruralis4x Endotricha flammealis8x Carcina quercana8x Agriphila tristella2x Dipleurina lacustrata
