Norchard Mothing, Worcs



Sadly no Bedstraw Hawk-moths here, despite considerable effort. A few recent migrant/wanderers have included a worn Oak Processionary on 26/07, a Vestal 12/08. Two Rusty-dot Pearls, and my first Rush Veneer of the year arrived last night, along with Agrophila latistria, and a Cypress Pug.

    It's been suggested that your worn Oak Processionary is a Nut-tree Tussock Mike?

      Yes, thanks Peter. I hadn't considered Nut-tree Tussock, but that does make more sense. I had had a few second brood moths earlier on. Just noticed that I wrote Agrophila rather than Agriphila, ah well we all make mistakes.

    My trap is full of late summer species: Large Yellow Blunderwings, Square-spot and 6 Striped Rustics and each morning the effects of marauding hornets chomping their way through moth bodies is apparent. Did get another Anlge-striped Sallow last night and the first Feathered Gothic of the season. As per usual little sign of any migrants.
