An absolutely astonishing evening I had with good friends Graham Bailey and Don Down. An evening totally eclipsing my previous highest count of 197 species, from this very site a few years back now. The weather was perfect, a little breezy at first but plenty of thin cloud cover and very mild.Do set his tripod up first and witin seconds things were flying around it, the usual stuff first and then a few specialities. It was a slow start mind and as we found out when we were packing up at 2am, species were still comng in!The traps on inspection as we slowly packed up, were brimming with moths and there were so many that it was difficult to breath in whilst looking through the catch with fear of inhaling one of the moths.Highlights for me were not one but two Marbled Green, we did see this moth here a few years ago, but both Graham and I attracted one each, a very special moth indeed. We also managed other resident specialities such as Garden Tiger, White-line Dart, Reed Dagger, Lappet and Silky Wainscot.All in all it was a night that I won't forget in a hurry and thoroughly worth the 2 hours of sleep I got before going to work in the morning!231 total species (150 Macros and 81 Micros)Numbers below are approximate and may be altered.Graham, please email me any corrections or additions, as it was very hard to keep up!12/07/13 Canvey Island - 2x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x Actinic/Synergetic bulb, 1x 160w MBT Trap and 1x 80w Actinic Trap run from 10.00pm until 2.00amMacro Moths 2x Angle Shades5x Barred Straw40+ Barred Yellow2x Beautiful Hook-tip1x Blackneck4x Blue-bordered Carpet3x Bordered Pug5x Bright-line Brown-eye10x Brimstone Moth1x Brindled White-spot1x Broad-barred White1x Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing1x Brown Silver-line2x Brown-line Bright-eye10x Brown-tail30+ Buff Arches5x Buff Footman3x Buff-tip1x Burnished Brass1x Chinese Character30+ Clay2x Cloaked Minor20+ Clouded Border2x Clouded Brindle30+ Clouded Silver1x Clouded-bordered Brindle2x Common Carpet5x Common Emerald10x Common Footman2x Common Marbled Carpet5x Common Rustic2x Common Wave5x Common White Wave3x Coxcomb Prominent10x Cream-bordered Green Pea20+ Dark Arches2x Dark Spinach1x Dark Sword-grass1x Dingy Shears2x Dotted Fan-foot20+ Dot Moth10x Double Square-spot1x Double-striped Pug5x Drinker2x Dun-bar5x Dusky Brocade3x Dwarf Cream Wave2x Early Thorn10x Elephant Hawk-moth2x Engrailed2x Eyed Hawk-moth2x Fan-foot1x Fen Wainscot20+ Flame30+ Flame Shoulder1x Foxglove Pug1x Garden Carpet2x Garden Tiger4x Ghost Moth5x Green Pug1x Green Silver-lines5x Grey Dagger2x Haworth's Pug4x Heart & Club5x Heart & Dart1x Herald2x Iron Prominent5x July Highflyer10+ Kent Black Arches2x Lackey2x Lappet10x Large Emerald3x Large Yellow Underwing1x Latticed Heath2x Least Carpet1x Least Yellow Underwing3x Leopard Moth1x Lesser Cream Wave2x Lesser Yellow Underwing5x Light Arches1x Light Brocade5x Light Emerald1x Lime Hawk-moth1x Lime-speck Pug1x Lunar-spotted Pinion6x Magpie2x Maple Prominent3x Marbled Beauty2x Marbled Green5x Marbled Minor10x Marbled White Spot8x Miller5x Mottled Beauty2x Mottled Rustic1x Mullein Wave1x Oak Eggar1x Oak nycteoline1x Orange Footman2x Pale Oak Beauty2x Pale Prominent2x Peach Blossom1x Pebble Hook-tip1x Pebble Prominent5x Peppered Moth1x Pine Hawk-moth10x Plain Pug2x Poplar Grey2x Poplar Hawk-moth2x Obscure Wainscot1x Reed Dagger15x Riband Wave1x Round-winged Muslin1x Ruby Tiger5x Rustic1x Scalloped Oak1x Scarce Silver-lines2x Setaceous Hebrew Character2x Shaded Broad-bar10x Shaded Pug2x Shark5x Sharp-angled Peacock3x Short-cloaked Moth5x Shoulder-striped Wainscot5x Silky Wainscot2x Silver-Y2x Single-dotted Wave8x Slender Pug2x Small Blood-vein1x Small Dotted Buff1x Small Emerald3x Small Scallop5x Smoky Wainscot2x Snout4x Southern Wainscot1x Spectacle2x Star-wort2x Straw Dot3x Suspected1x Swallow Prominent10x Swallow-tailed Moth2x Tawny Marbled Minor5x Uncertain3x V-pug2x Vapourer1x White Ermine10x White-line Dart2x White-point2x Willow Beauty3x Wormwood Pug2x Yellow Shell1x Yellow-tailMicro Moths1x Thiodia citrana [NEW!]3x Cnaemidophorus rhododactyla [NEW!]2x Trachycera marmorea [NEW!]1x Apotomis lineana [NEW!]1x Altenia scriptella [NEW!]1x Phlyctaenia stachydalis [NEW!]1x Phycitodes sp pos maritima [NEW!] to be gen det5x Phycita roborella1x Tinea semifulvella1x Caloptilia alchimiella2x Scythropia crataegella5x Yponomeuta evonymella2x Paraswammerdamia albicapitella5x Argyresthia brockeella10x Argyresthia goedartella2x Argyresthia curvella2x Plutella xylostella10x Coleophora sp2x Coleophora mayrella10x Blastobasis laticolella1x Hoffmannophila pseudospretella5x Batia unitella1x Batia lunaris2x Carcina quercana2x Anacampsis blattariella2x Emmelina monodactyla1x Adaina microdactyla2x Phtheochroa inopiana1x Agapeta hamana5x Cochylis hybridella2x Aethes rubigana1x Pandemis cerasana3x Pandemis heparana5x Archips podana5x Archips xylosteana2x Aphelia paleana2x Tortrix viridana20x Aleimma loeflingiana2x Acleris forsskaleana2x Epiphyas postvittana2x Ditula angustiorana5x Ephestia parasitella10x Trachycera advenella10x Udea prunalis5x Cnephasia sp5x Celypha striana2x Celypha lacunana1x Batrachedra praeangusta5x Apotomis capreana100+ Hedya salicella10x Epinotia biluna8x Gypsonoma dealbana2x Eucosma campoliliana2x Epiblema foenella5x Epiblema uddmanniana2x Aphomia sociella10x Synaphe punctalis30x Melissoblaptes zelleri5x Platytes alpinella5x Oncocera semirubella10x Calamotropha paludella5x Homoeosoma sinuella2x Crambus perlella5x Catoptria pinella2x Catoptria falsella5x Chrysoteuchia culmella5x Ancylis achatana1x Schoenobius gigantella4x Dipleurina lacustrata2x Accentria ephemerella2x Scoparia ambigualis2x Elophila nymphaeata2x Cataclysta lemnata1x Evergestis extimalis2x Pyrausta despicta4x Eurrhypara hortulata1x Sitochroa verticalis1x Ostrinia nubilalis2x Perinephela lancealis5x Phlyctaenia perlucidalis3x Ebulea crocealis

Hemel Hempstead Field Trip - Back to GadespringsHad another much anticipated trip back to Gadesprings, and was joined by Roger on a very mild night with increasing cloud cover, the clouds did look threatening and we were expecting rain soon after setting up, but as forecast the rain held off. We were hoping for some Wainscots, and we did get a few, well they were all Common Wainscots apart from one Bulrush Wainscot.Unfortunately the Garden Darts that I suspected that we had caught, all turned out to be just a variation of Square-spot Rustic, all looking slightly odd with extreme over-lapping of forewings.Best micro was Ypsolopha alpella a scarce moth in the southern part of Hertfordshire, it is a moth that I recorded on my parents farm for the first time in 2011.We were surprised with the good count of species for this time of year, 2 good conditioned Heart & Darts was a surprise and being dive-bombed by lots of Old Ladies was fun!All in all a good trip and well worth the effort of setting up 4 traps.Numbers below are approximate 29/08/13 - Gadesprings - Hemel Hempstead - 2x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x 160w MBT Trap & 1x 80w Actinic Trap run from 8.20pm until 1.00am 98 Species in total56 Macro Moths & 42 Micro MothsMacro Moths1x Angle Shades8x Brimstone Moth1x Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing1x Bulrush Wainscot1x Burnished Brass6x Centre-barred Sallow5x Common Carpet1x Common Footman2x Cloaked Minor2x Common Rustic8x Common Wainscot2x Common Wave5x Copper Underwing2x Dark Arches15x Dingy Footman2x Double-striped Pug1x Dun-bar1x Dusky Thorn8x Feathered Gothic1x Flame Carpet5x Flame Shoulder2x Flounced Rustic2x Garden Carpet5x Green Carpet2x Heart & Dart5x Large Yellow Underwing1x Least Yellow Underwing10x Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing3x Lesser Yellow Underwing2x Lime-speck Pug1x Maiden's Blush1x Nut-tree Tussock8x Old Lady4x Orange Swift1x Phoenix1x Purple Bar1x Rosy Rustic1x Scalloped Oak1x Scorched Carpet4x Setaceous Hebrew Character1x Shuttle-shaped Dart1x Silver-Y1x Single-dotted Wave1x Small Fan-footed Wave1x Small Phoenix2x Small Square-spot2x Snout1x Spectacle25x Square-spot Rustic15x Straw Dot1x Tawny Speckled Pug1x Tree-lichen Beauty10x Vine's Rustic2x Willow Beauty4x Yellow Shell2x Yellow-barred BrindleMicro Moths1x Batrachedra praeangusta1x Cochylimorpha straminea1x Caloptilia robustella2x Argyresthia pruniella2x Pandemis heparana1x Agriphila tristella1x Acleris variegana1x Phycita roborella2x Catoptria falsella1x Cameraria ohridella2x Coleophora sp.1x Yponomeuta sp.2x Eudonia mercurella1x Prays fraxinella1x Prays ruficeps2x Scrobipalpa costella1x Chrysoteuchia culmella5x Limnaecia phragmitella2x Blastobasis adustella2x Ypsolopha scabrella1x Emmetia marginea1x Celypha lacunana8x Elachista maculicerusella1x Anthophila fabriciana1x Ypsolopha alpella1x Cataclysta lemnata5x Clepsis spectrana1x Bactra lancealana10x Pleuroptya ruralis1x Scythropia crataegella2x Emmelina monodactyla2x Pandemis corylana1x Cydia splendana1x Argyrotaenia ljungiana5x Epinotia nisella1x Epinotia immundana4x Agriphila geniculea2x Trachycera advenella2x Acleris laterana1x Agonopterix arenella1x Apotomis lineana1x Dichrorampha sp.

Bovingdon and Gadesprings - Field Trip - 19/05/14Roger, Steve and I made a trip to Bovingdon for some late Spring and early Summer species and boy were we in for a treat!We first trapped this site last year on the 11th of June (Trip report HERE)This time though we were simply overwhelmed with species coming in faster than one could jot down.Interestingly we caught most species that we caught last year but as a comparison, we are about 6 weeks ahead of last year (because of the cold Winter of 2012/13)Of course last year was abnormal so we could not go on last years records too much, some of the species that we did get were typically 2 weeks earlier than the books state.The evening was perfect, with a mild muggy feel about it and still 20 degrees at 8pm, the cloud was still with us and the moon stayed at bay (at least until we packed up)The threat of rain seemed to have subsided and the breeze had dropped so we were very lucky indeed.We did not get our target species Light Feathered Rustic, but it needn't have mattered as it was a long shot anyway and there was plenty of interest coming to all four traps as we worked them throughout the night.Highlights included an Alder Moth, Buttoned Snout, Seraphim, Clay Triple-lines, Grass Rivulet and Coronet.The smaller moths were also in abundance, particularly around the twin Actinic trap and several were taken away to examine in natural light.Highlights of the micros included Bucculatrix nigricomella, Mompha lacteella, Mompha raschkiella, Strophedra weirana and Platyptilia gonodactyla, 3 of those new to me.We also managed to get an unusual looking Treble Lines of the form obscura.It really was so nice to see good numbers of the common species as well with 30+ Clouded Silver, 40+ of Red Twin-spot Carpet and Mottled/Common Pug both numbering easily in excess of 25 specimens each.Exhausted as we had finished around 1am at this site, then onto Gadesprings to empty the two traps there, where we found another 3 Alder Moths, Figure of Eighty and Light Brocade amongst a reasonable amount of species.Home at 3am, up at 6am and I felt like I had a hangover this morning, all good fun!Numbers below are as close as I could record!

New CameraWell after 8 years with my first DSLR the beloved Sony A200 with the 100mm Cosina 1:2 macro lens, I finally plumped for a Sony A65 coupled with a Tamron 90mm 1:1 macro lens.It will take me months to work out the ideal f-stop and iso settings for all of the light conditions during photography that are thrown at me, but I am pleasantly surprised so far.Here are a few pics from last nights catch, of which I must write up when I get time (list now added)Still a trickle of new for years but the amount of Macro moths has really dropped off with Micro moths more numerous in the trap, including 65 Blastobasis adustella!
