I was in a sleep deprived haze at the cold and windy moth breakfast. Dymock Forest proved to be a warm and still night but moth numbers actually fell below expectations. It's too early to suggest accurate total species numbers between the various 7 traps in use, but typical catches were plus/minus 100 species, so maybe combined after all the micros have been identified, we'll be between 150 and 200 species, I suspect. The target was Orange moth and in total 5 were seen, 4 at one pair of traps and 1 and another location. A nice bonus was 6 Great Oal Beauty which arrived at one pair of traps but not elsewhere. The following night I went to Mowley Wood but it had turned wet then cold so nothing really to report from that spot, although the bottle of beer was nice and cold and Mars bar not soggy. <span style="color: #783f04;">Peter Hall</span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHSdfWkKz4MAjzvsbNn8QJHs1GrvcYTzUYfa7viPKyYt6DBs56n8MjCwGEl5G9MiPaiQ9YLqqyPOIc4YR2GPRxHK9uZwG8ulOcHBiTIAvcszk6zdBfJ7Lqg2Sdp2ERihovzfjQKYHMWW6m3KBxBM3QnKPcUsyRdpdPvrjDWr4IDssjR1oL6MruxXv-/s2175/2306222%20Beautiful%20Snout.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2175" data-original-width="1947" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHSdfWkKz4MAjzvsbNn8QJHs1GrvcYTzUYfa7viPKyYt6DBs56n8MjCwGEl5G9MiPaiQ9YLqqyPOIc4YR2GPRxHK9uZwG8ulOcHBiTIAvcszk6zdBfJ7Lqg2Sdp2ERihovzfjQKYHMWW6m3KBxBM3QnKPcUsyRdpdPvrjDWr4IDssjR1oL6MruxXv-/s320/2306222%20Beautiful%20Snout.jpg" width="286" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dymock Forest: Beautiful Snout<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #783f04;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBQxIddMWJ5vTSJbgSQMcKZTUWAgHRbBKpUBHiMF6cuhVswer6Ff65k0QUaKpdWj98qAh_EVYuNgq70RHsrxnslnsN2bKM1vzYgDtfWkwyiLdpHa6WdYU5n2P3CmQO77Zly1q4sZr5iQ66PMZwEhxDDBTrPX8HxZlXRFJ6lmnxYg-68CynWzEx8ERy/s3554/2306222%20Great%20Oak%20Beauty1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3554" data-original-width="2683" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBQxIddMWJ5vTSJbgSQMcKZTUWAgHRbBKpUBHiMF6cuhVswer6Ff65k0QUaKpdWj98qAh_EVYuNgq70RHsrxnslnsN2bKM1vzYgDtfWkwyiLdpHa6WdYU5n2P3CmQO77Zly1q4sZr5iQ66PMZwEhxDDBTrPX8HxZlXRFJ6lmnxYg-68CynWzEx8ERy/s320/2306222%20Great%20Oak%20Beauty1.jpg" width="242" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dymock Forest: Great Oak Beauty<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2gq8FHbBBBVLSaj07ohgn0tpJ8bpYaAWwPPrxb37BEPAJ-ZbfrLbGCe1S40uvn2D85HDuZDMnUf2pW13P80kk_xfK4KVJEeglFyYq9QNmtgvYSTV0DGTPhhiQDiY0S9YCrUWHyI3TWc_vnCldL19-L02-_McgiddLj8mMf9h1FQZAoAJlF50tQxGs/s3528/2306222%20Great%20Oak%20Beauty.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2334" data-original-width="3528" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2gq8FHbBBBVLSaj07ohgn0tpJ8bpYaAWwPPrxb37BEPAJ-ZbfrLbGCe1S40uvn2D85HDuZDMnUf2pW13P80kk_xfK4KVJEeglFyYq9QNmtgvYSTV0DGTPhhiQDiY0S9YCrUWHyI3TWc_vnCldL19-L02-_McgiddLj8mMf9h1FQZAoAJlF50tQxGs/s320/2306222%20Great%20Oak%20Beauty.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dymock Forest: Great Oak Beauty</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqtnrwpby-d5T9blbjGH1LOrLhfy4K-EU04z3jOltZefTMjYLJB8vpBbFnKd0bmml6WpqONZIK68KB-SEAkBnTRJzvj-93ihK3rV40zofSfeVJtoasM2eJG3M13Io5z2v28ch_dA3ijSNMdTUsmktxWo94U_9TcI0MtblaQd_zkp9NPV0_2D7BumOJ/s3575/2306222%20Orange.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3575" data-original-width="2746" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqtnrwpby-d5T9blbjGH1LOrLhfy4K-EU04z3jOltZefTMjYLJB8vpBbFnKd0bmml6WpqONZIK68KB-SEAkBnTRJzvj-93ihK3rV40zofSfeVJtoasM2eJG3M13Io5z2v28ch_dA3ijSNMdTUsmktxWo94U_9TcI0MtblaQd_zkp9NPV0_2D7BumOJ/s320/2306222%20Orange.jpg" width="246" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dymock Forest: Orange moth</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </span><br /><p></p>Peter Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10828069795222628270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283284400500701797.post-2477891118125430762022-06-25T18:19:00.003+01:002022-06-25T19:05:13.762+01:00More pheromoning by-catch Results in WarndonHaving read posts about API (Six-belted Clearwing Lure) on Facebook attracting various 'clothes moths' I hung out my 9 year old lure on my large garden birch tree at the end of May, in more vague hope than expectancy! On the evening of the 8th June I noticed a small tineid moth had been caught.
Having potted and fridged it I got a record shot in the pot next day.

I was pretty sure this was Nemapogon variatella and Jon Newman kindly added a thumbs up. He had already had several confirmed from same capture method at Peterborough, Cambs. My moth was very white indeed compare to Cork Moth, Corn Moth but unfortunately had a mis-formed wing angle. A week later another moth, this time in much better condition was spotted in trap mid-evening.

This moth was later confirmed as a male <b>N. variatella</b> by PC - so these 2 now bring the county total to four. Am now trying the VES (Yellow-legged Clearwing Lure) in the same spot, evening and night only in the hope of another species!

It was designed to keepoths calm during the day if pushed for time. It's a cool box with cold plates placed in the lid. I have a Robinson style where Bob has one that can be used as a Skinner or Robinson <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Firstly on the 14/5 I trapped 55 species in Whitchurch, lower Wye Valley, the highlight of which was a Lead Belle. I have found this before in May, in the Forest of Dean, which is nextdoor, but a site first nonetheless. Last night 19/5 Bordered Straw to actinic in Hereford. Also a couple of examples of what looks like Platyedra subcinerea, which I recorded in Hereford last May (gen det). If there is a colony here it's a long way from any others, distribution is mainly south counties and the SE.</p><p>John</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdWrRWaGtQdQJAQI-NyHOipBZQTHwY4QbifsPNX7b6oTI-fJ-RyR_WWfWpNSc7gKxX53NOmCin9Hj80IMXnJAeeCBsnYV6xgV4WDJsijfKyv8ysAn0s56DSM5G8ZG2nKk5L6ZD1feqpUdFiKKDZpZmnm6tKQehClz3wOOlRPwTmtsI8R-r0byq7QOI/s5468/20220515_124211940_iOS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3974" data-original-width="5468" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdWrRWaGtQdQJAQI-NyHOipBZQTHwY4QbifsPNX7b6oTI-fJ-RyR_WWfWpNSc7gKxX53NOmCin9Hj80IMXnJAeeCBsnYV6xgV4WDJsijfKyv8ysAn0s56DSM5G8ZG2nKk5L6ZD1feqpUdFiKKDZpZmnm6tKQehClz3wOOlRPwTmtsI8R-r0byq7QOI/s320/20220515_124211940_iOS.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lead Belle</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3l7jF0xzICqlT2Q3yZlRAN0PYtqilmHXJwLX4hFPrr_kMxU-tBFKpKG3DgeoHRe7l6MIOnBu-wTEr1wOcIX8VvJch23U-UoccjQ9jjpURefguiUONrco6OFF4rNwJQxZ0zolFQQ-eGJZlgIDghJUuogCJA3G6IGHO6BZGmjozHVXF2OzilCMr8gnc/s3381/20220520_131757670_iOS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2601" data-original-width="3381" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3l7jF0xzICqlT2Q3yZlRAN0PYtqilmHXJwLX4hFPrr_kMxU-tBFKpKG3DgeoHRe7l6MIOnBu-wTEr1wOcIX8VvJch23U-UoccjQ9jjpURefguiUONrco6OFF4rNwJQxZ0zolFQQ-eGJZlgIDghJUuogCJA3G6IGHO6BZGmjozHVXF2OzilCMr8gnc/s320/20220520_131757670_iOS.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bordered Straw</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEaGGcUVgouGsNpFdqg_8-yevaWUd_45HAKulXdktCxX3_WL7kgYKTXcL6Ix2vYVL4qcj6bYU0UKgZXIRHucHong7z-MdOAuVw8ozHHzvqLyVsVi0rfSYChdmj-rBZsO-63BFAM3drahpIB2pIDZeL-REHidkeD_1podoh312HiirlKPsGReaDpC3p/s1553/Platyedra%20subcinerea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="793" data-original-width="1553" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEaGGcUVgouGsNpFdqg_8-yevaWUd_45HAKulXdktCxX3_WL7kgYKTXcL6Ix2vYVL4qcj6bYU0UKgZXIRHucHong7z-MdOAuVw8ozHHzvqLyVsVi0rfSYChdmj-rBZsO-63BFAM3drahpIB2pIDZeL-REHidkeD_1podoh312HiirlKPsGReaDpC3p/s320/Platyedra%20subcinerea.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Platyedra subcinerea</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p>John Walshehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17139160704113194068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283284400500701797.post-91895627078413914602022-05-10T21:51:00.001+01:002022-05-10T21:51:53.931+01:00Buttoned SnoutWas surprised on the evening of 2nd May to find a Buttoned Snout in my Evesham trap, took my a few minutes to workout what it was through the perspex, larger than I expected<div><br></div><div>Nice moth to get before I move to Colwall, Malvern at the end of the month</div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Not exactly been inundated with moths but the first garden record of Pammene giganteana came in on 23/3 and possibly Pammene suspectana on 17/4 (retained for Peter to examine). These both were attracted to the versatile MOL lure.

Still just macro-moths, they hope micros will follow fairly soon. You'll see the similarity to our West Midlands site, in fact they were so impressed with our atlas, they wanted one. Well worth a look and you can also help them by uploading some nice quality images too.
